Theology. Applied. WORD | WORLD | FAITH | PASSION
For 90 years Carey has served the church in New Zealand by producing leaders for ministry and mission. I want to invite you to come and be part of all that God is doing in and through us.
A
t Carey you will be engaged in theological study with teachers known for their scholarship and personal commitment to ministry and mission service. We greatly value our relational style of learning. Our student community is energetic and made up of people from many diverse backgrounds and experiences. Students range in age from 18 to 74 and include recent school-leavers, people wanting to change their careers, those just starting to discover God’s calling on their lives and experienced leaders wanting to enhance their ministry. It is exciting to watch our graduates effectually join with God in his mission, not only within New Zealand, but all over the world. They serve in local churches as pastors, community workers, children and family ministers, mission co-ordinators, youth leaders and church planters. Others serve in ministries such as chaplaincy, advocacy, non-profit organisations and academic positions. Many of our graduates continue within the marketplace.
Expect great things from God... attempt great things for God. WILLIAM CAREY (1761 - 1834)
Carey will give depth and energy to your leadership as you serve God, the church and the world. If you want to chat further with me about studying with us please feel free to e-mail me: charles.hewlett@carey.ac.nz Hei kona mai.

“ As an ‘old gal from the sticks’ travelling down to campus for only 1-2 days a week I was actually anxious that I wouldn’t fit in or get the chance to connect with other students. No chance! Community life at Carey is fun and really inclusive–you very quickly miss it when you’re not there and you know that you have been missed when you return.”

Community Life F
rom orientation through to graduation we want you to think of this place as your place and the Carey Community as your family. Our campus is full of genuine care and community. This happens through a number of special events each year such as bagel breakfasts, Community Life Days and sENDing, (which is when we celebrate the completion of our Pastoral Leadership students’ training) as well as through our weekly chapel, community lunches and prayer times that aim to make our campus an awesome place to belong. Not only will you study, discover and unpack knowledge at Carey, you will also form friendships that last as you journey with other students and staff who are committed to supporting you, both while you study and beyond.
COMMUNITY WORSHIP Every Tuesday we gather together as a Carey Community to worship in the Chapel. It is a special time of worship, reflection and anointed preaching from a Carey staff member or special guest. MONDAY AND TUESDAY LUNCHES Gathering together around food is a large part of creating Community at Carey. Every Monday and Tuesday during semester time Carey provides lunch at no cost for students. We also love to welcome the spouses of Carey students to join us for lunch. LUNCHTIME INTERVIEWS WITH GUEST SPEAKERS On a regular basis our Principal, Charles Hewlett interviews guest speakers. This is a perfect opportunity to listen and interact with effective pastors, mission and marketplace leaders as they tell their personal stories in leadership and mission with transparency.
AFTER LUNCH ACTION After lunch is the perfect opportunity to break out the Volleyball, Basketball, Table Tennis, Foosball or Darts. Students are encouraged to take part in a sports ladder as it’s a lot of fun and a great way to get to know others. WEDNESDAY PRAYERS Students and Carey staff come together in the Chapel every Wednesday to pray for the Carey community, the wider community, our country and our world. FORMATION GROUP Through the Formation Group Carey creates a space each week away from study where we can discern where God might be interacting with us and to be open to anything He might want to show us. Doing this together as a group enables us to encourage and support one another as part of our Carey Community.

“Finished my first semester and can I say it was soooo life-giving and profoundly rich. The staff really care, there’s a strong sense of community and their theology is just sooooo brilliant—and I got to explore the Bible in ways that I have never before—which was, put short, frazzling, mind-blowing and for the most part, REALLY fun! I LOVE it and am thinking of remaining a student here FOREVER— if you are wondering what you can do next year, consider this place —one of the best decisions I’ve made, EVER.”

Studying at Carey C
arey Baptist College offers a range of course delivery options with the aim of making study as accessible as possible to you. Currently we have: ONSITE CLASSES Most courses are offered at our campus in Penrose (Auckland), timetabled in weekly 3-hour classes over 12 weeks of the 17-week semester. A number of these courses are offered in the evening making them available for students in full-time employment. DISTANCE COURSES Many courses that Carey offers are available by distance learning, meaning that you can be located anywhere around New Zealand—or the world—but still continue to study through Carey.
BLOCK COURSES
PART-TIME STUDY
A number of block or intensive courses are offered each year. These are held either at the Auckland campus or at various locations throughout New Zealand. They usually last either five days or have two blocks of two or three days.
You can also study part-time towards any Carey qualification. Part-time study allows you to combine study with other commitments such as employment, family and church life. As a part-time student you can combine on-site classes, distance and block courses for a study programme that suits your needs.
FIELD EDUCATION Some courses are practical-based field education courses. You complete the requirements for these courses in your local place of ministry under the guidance of a nominated supervisor. FULL-TIME STUDY You can study full-time towards any Carey qualification. Full-time study allows you to combine on-site classes, distance and block courses into a study programme that suits your needs.

“The content of the papers in the Masters of Applied Theology has been excellent. I’ve found the courses have been personally formative and added depth to my work as a pastor in a Baptist church in Wellington. I’d recommend post-graduate study at Carey to anyone looking to develop and enhance ministry praxis.”

Ministry Training
Training Pastoral Leaders for Life
A
t Carey our commitment is to provide the highest quality Pastoral Leadership training programmes. Our goal is the development of leaders who have a robust Biblical theology, a foundation of core Pastoral skills, a deep awareness of their own identity as rooted in Christ and a heart that is alive with passionate Kingdom purposes. If you are serious about God’s call into ministry be prepared to be challenged, transformed and equipped.
PASTORAL LEADERSHIP | Full-time 3 Years This specialised programme is strategically designed to prepare effective Pastoral Leaders. The training involves intentional development of the student’s Biblical knowledge, spiritual life, self-awareness, leadership skills and preaching. Experienced practitioners work alongside students, mentoring and supervising them through a
personalised development track. Local churches work alongside Carey and offer annual and summer placements as “hands on” experience to build ministry skills and confidence. All of the learning is constantly enhanced by peer group experiences where students support and encourage each other as they grow together as Pastoral Leaders.
ACADEMIC Students that successfully complete the 3 year training requirements graduate with: •• Bachelor of Applied Theology •• Diploma of Pastoral Leadership •• A Carey Baptist College Pastoral Leadership Commendation
“Having been a Pastor for 25 years I am committed to providing the best possible programme to equip leaders for a lifetime of fruitful ministry.” Jonny Weir | Director, Ministry Training
“Carey did more than provide a degree, it provided an invaluable start as to what it means to be a minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Carey taught me to look for God at work in every situation.”
“My involvement in the PL track (as a spouse) has shown me how much Carey values and recognises the need to care for the spiritual and emotional health of the whole family.”

“Gone are the days when Youth Pastors just ‘wing it.’ The need for solid theology and healthy spiritual practices is what I have gained from studying in Carey’s YPL Track. The YPL Track sets an incredible foundation that consolidates you as a leader and minister of the gospel; what a privileged place to be.”

Mission Track T
he Carey Mission Track aims to equip followers of Jesus to participate in God’s mission, whether that will be overseas or nearer to home. It involves more than gaining information. Together with a mission-oriented peer group we cultivate a missional spirituality, develop intercultural skills, build our global awareness and connect a range of mission practitioners and leaders. ACADEMIC Mission Track doesn’t stand alone, but runs alongside study in Applied Theology (part-time or full-time). As well as their qualification in Applied Theology students who complete Mission Track are awarded a Certificate (one year) or Diploma (two years) of Intercultural Practice.
“The team at Carey do a superb job helping students bridge cultural distances with the gospel in light of today’s global challenges.” Jay Matenga | Executive Officer Missions Interlink NZ
A visit to a South Asian city convinced Joel Carter that he wanted to use his business skills to help bring freedom to women trapped in the sex trade. In preparation for that he spent a year at Carey, completing a Certificate in Applied Theology alongside participation in Mission Track.
“I’m really grateful for my time at Carey. It broadened my horizon of what mission is and gave me a framework of how to approach different situations theologically.”

ntermission is a one year full-time programme providing rigorous personal, academic and social exploration. It is designed with recent school leavers in mind who are keen on being stretched and challenged in their faith, worldview and life direction. It provides a well-rounded supportive environment for students to learn a number of transferrable skills that will set them up well for future engagement in academic, workplace and community-based institutions. The programme focuses on three different components— discipleship, vocation and study. Students learn to pray more deeply for the world around them, gain insight into ministry opportunities through community placements and are challenged by both local and national field trips. Intermission provides an excellent foundation for future academic study. Successful completion of the academic components in Intermission will lead to a Carey Certificate which is NZQA Accredited and recognised by other tertiary institutions.
Students also get an introduction to tertiary level tools of learning and develop skills in research, critical thinking, writing and presentations as well as engagement with academic scholars. The programme also includes and teaches students: •• Supportive pathways to independence including one-on-one mentoring
•• Conflict resolution •• Time management and organisational skills •• Understanding of society and some of the factors which influence its operation •• Raised awareness and understanding of key social issues facing New Zealand today
•• In-depth personal reflection including preferred models of learning, strengths finder, problem solving and personality tools
“Throughout the year together we’re being exposed to different cultures, opinions and ways of life. It challenges and stretches you and helps you uncover your inner self.”
