welcome to
carey Do you believe that Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life? Do you want to love him more deeply? Do you want to follow him more closely? Do you sense that he may be calling you to leadership within his church? Do you feel drawn to participate in his work of restoring lives and renewing communities?
ministry. Some are equipping themselves as professionals for Christian witness in the public square. Others, such as our gap year Intermission students, are orientating themselves for a life of radical discipleship wherever Jesus might lead them.
If your answer to any of these questions is “Yes,” then we’d love to talk with you.
So, if you want to deepen your faith, if you want to explore God’s calling on your life, and equip yourself to obey that calling, then feel free to email me at john.tucker@carey.ac.nz.
Carey exists to form and equip followers of Jesus for participation in the mission of God. We do this by helping our students think deeply about the Scriptures and theology, reflect widely on the practices of discipleship and ministry, and engage critically with the contexts in which they live and serve. This kind of study is best done in community, and Carey is an extraordinary community— warm, creative, and deeply committed to the ways of Jesus. Our lecturers are excellent academics and experienced practitioners. They’re approachable and supportive, and they genuinely care about students and their formation. But you don't have to be based in Auckland to study at Carey. Through Carey Distance you can participate in our learning community wherever you live in Aotearoa. Our students come from a diverse range of ethnic and denominational backgrounds. Some are preparing for ministry on our pastoral leadership programme. Others are preparing for church planting, chaplaincy, or cross-cultural

te kakahu ō te tumuaki the principal's cloak
This feather cloak was created for the Principal of Carey. It represents who we are as a learning community. The row of white feathers is a sign of leadership. The black feathers tinged with iridescent blues and greens represent the coming of the light of the gospel to Aotearoa, and reminds us of all those who went before and created a way for us today (Hebrews 12:1). The triangular niho taniwha pattern on the braid represents the triune God and is also a fighting pattern reminding us of the need

for strength and resilience to succeed in theological education. The poutama pattern, commonly known as ‘steps to heaven,’ signifies the transforming work of the Holy Spirit in making us more like Christ (2 Corinthians 3:18). The colours of the poutama indicate that all people are welcome at Carey and remind us of the great multitude from every nation, tribe, people, and language that will one day worship before the throne and the Lamb (Revelation 7:9-10).

theology for the real world
Carey’s heartbeat is a passionate learning community that loves Jesus, loves the Bible, loves the church, and loves mission. For ninety-three years we have served the wider church in New Zealand by developing leaders for ministry and mission. At Carey we want our graduates to possess the conviction, competencies, and character to participate faithfully in the mission of God, and make a difference in this world.
So, at Carey you’ll study the Scriptures and theology. You’ll engage with the best in Christian scholarship. But you’ll also apply what you learn to your life, leadership, and community. You’ll be encouraged to bring your experiences, your culture, and your ministry to your studies, provoking fresh questions and deeper enquiry. In this way, through such integration, you won’t just collect information— you’ll experience transformation, for the sake of greater participation in the mission of God.
We believe the way to develop such knowledge, skills, and maturity is through applied theology. This is theology that integrates your faith, your context, and your practice. It’s theology that brings the Scriptures into conversation with the world in which we live and the work of Christian discipleship and ministry.
Studying at Carey is both a challenge and a joy: a challenge to explore the mysteries and fullness of God's character and word, and a joy to do so in the company of passionate teachers and enthusiastic students.”

formation te hanganga
knowing. doing. being. At Carey we’re passionate about learning that is formational. Our goal is not just to communicate information, but to facilitate transformation. We want our students to be marked by a deep love for Jesus, the Bible, the church, and mission. We want them to develop the knowledge, skills, character, and practices to participate effectively in God’s mission in this world. We facilitate this kind of transformation through our integrative or applied approach to theology. In each course you will be encouraged to integrate your academic study with your life and your
context. Every student at Carey also has an opportunity to participate in a weekly formation group with other students, where they can integrate their learning and living. These groups form a significant part of our formal Pastoral Leadership and Youth Pastoral Leadership programmes. Students in those programmes will also come under the care of a staff mentor, an experienced practitioner, who will supervise them through a personalised development track. If you want to grow in your love for Jesus and become more like him, then Carey is set up for you.

vibrant & caring community hāpori manaaki
From orientation through to graduation, we want you to think of this place as your place and the Carey community as your family, because learning is best done in relationship. Our campus is full of genuine care and community. 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 is intentionally created through a number of special events each year such as bagel breakfasts and SENDing (which is when we celebrate some of our students who have undertaken our Formation tracks), as well as through our weekly chapel, community lunches, and prayer times that aim to make our campus an awesome place to belong.
Formation Group We take time each week to connect together in community to discover how God is working in our lives. It’s an opportunity to meet, support, pray, and encourage one another as we journey in study and life.
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 preaching from a Carey staff member or special guest.
8
Monday & Tuesday Lunches Gathering together around food is a large part of creating community at Carey. Every Monday and Tuesday during semester Carey provides lunch at no cost for students. We also love to welcome the whānau of Carey students to join us for lunch.
Wednesday Prayers Staff and students come together in the chapel every Wednesday to pray for the Carey community, the wider community, our country, and our world.
Lunchtime Interviews with Guest Speakers On a regular basis Principal John Tucker interviews guest speakers. This is a perfect opportunity to listen and interact with effective pastors and mission or marketplace leaders as they share their personal stories in leadership and mission.
After Lunch Action After lunch is the perfect opportunity to break out the volleyball, basketball, table tennis, 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.
study your way
flexible study options Carey offers a range of course delivery options with the aim of making study flexible and accessible. These include:
Full-Time Study You can study full-time towards any Carey qualification. Full-time study allows you to combine on-site classes, distance study, and block courses into a study programme that suits your needs.
Part-Time Study 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 study, and block courses for a study programme that suits your needs.
Block Courses A number of block or intensive courses are offered each year. These are held either at our Auckland campus or at various locations throughout New Zealand. They usually last five days or have two blocks of two or three days.
Study by Distance At Carey we appreciate that it’s not always possible to study at our Auckland campus. This is why Carey Distance is so important to us. It enables you to study theology and prepare for ministry within the context you find yourself. Carey Distance provides you with the same academic rigour that you would experience by being in the Carey classroom while also connecting you with other students in learning situations similar to your own.
Study as You Serve At Carey we encourage our students to study alongside serving in church or ministry contexts. Our programmes allow you to gain credit for reflective field work, so your work in these areas can count towards your qualification. Our field education courses allow you to complete the requirements in your local place of ministry under the guidance of a nominated supervisor. This is a great opportunity if you are interning or serving in your church.
On-Site Classes Most courses are offered at our campus in Auckland, timetabled in weekly three-hour classes over twelve weeks of the seventeen-week semester. A number of these courses are offered in the evening making them accessible if you are in full-time employment.

The Carey teaching faculty is a community of faithful scholars who are at the cutting edge of applied theology research and teaching. They are not only highly qualified and respected academics, but they are also active practitioners applying what they learn and teach in church, mission, and community contexts. Above all they are followers of Jesus who want to work out their faith in authentic Christ-centred lives. In addition to the resident faculty, learning at Carey is enriched by contributions from adjunct and visiting lecturers including international scholars, MÄ ori Christian leaders and academics, and practitionertheologians with a range of ministry and mission experience. Staff and students alike value the authentic relationships that develop as they sit together at lunch and share in worship and community events. Both on-site and distance students find Carey lecturers accessible and friendships often continue long beyond a student’s time at Carey.

What can I study?
Where can study take me?
Carey offers a range of NZQA approved qualifications at undergraduate and postgraduate level, as well as a range of Formation tracks which sit alongside academic study for those called to train and equip themselves in leadership for mission or ministry.
Carey is excited to witness our graduates serving God and joining him in his mission, not only in New Zealand, but all over the world.
On the opposite page you can see how our study pathways and Formation tracks (training options and specialisations) work.
Our graduates are serving as pastoral leaders, chaplains, cross-cultural workers, children's and family ministers, youth leaders, and church planters. Others serve in community development or advocacy roles. Others work in non-profit organisations, or in academic positions. Many of our students study for their own personal growth as followers of Jesus and continue as his witnesses within their workplace settings. Whatever your calling, study at Carey will give depth and energy to your leadership as you serve God, the church, and the world.

Carey has contributed significantly to my faith and identity, through both the bi-cultural and applied theology aspects of the college. In 2016 God had me unexpectedly putting my time in Thailand and Myanmar on hold, and directed me to a year of study at Carey. I am now in my second year of the Bachelor of Applied Theology, and absolutely love the specifically applied element. With this I have the increasing ability to integrate my faith with my work and the world, and I know that will only continue with my study and thereafter.”

对我而言，克理是真理的播种机，是知识的加油站，是属灵的大家庭。 克理中文部的神学培训大大提升了我的属灵生命，让我感觉自己好像坐上了一架属灵飞机 ，向下看能更清楚的审视有关信仰的一切，向上看与我们的独一真神更亲近！ To me, Carey is like an agency that plants the truth, a fuel station that fills learners with knowledge, and a big spiritual family. My Chinese theological education at Carey has deeply enriched my spiritual life. I feel as though I am on board a spiritual aeroplane. When on board, I am provided an aerial view about the Christian faith and I am drawn closer in intimacy with our monotheistic God.” 22

Navigate the gap between school and your future and learn more about God, the world, and your place in it. Take a year and find out what God has in-store for your life with our Intermission programme. “I’m just not sure what I should do next…” “I need to figure out who I am and what I can offer before I can save the world…don’t I?” Sound familiar? Intermission is a one-year full-time programme for those at the quarter-life stage (17-21). You will be a part of a small cohort of students journeying alongside one another as you re-evaluate direction in life, rethink world views, refuel for discipleship, and reorder your priorities in life for the world in which we live. The programme provides a well-rounded supportive environment for you to learn transferable skills that will set you up well for your next season of study, training, or work. You’ll learn to pray more deeply for the world around you, gain insight into ministry opportunities through community placements, and be challenged through local and national field trips. You will 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. Intermission provides an excellent foundation for future academic study. 1 YEAR FULL-TIME (on-site in Auckland) AWARD Students will be awarded with: New Zealand Certificate in Christian Ministry (NZQA accredited, 120 credits)
It’s been awesome. Intermission has been very foundational for my faith in Jesus. It wasn’t what I expected. I thought it was going to be a very heavy Bible study, but it’s also about team bonding, accountability, and helping each other out; relationship building with your peers and God as well.”

Come and immerse yourself in an environment and community that is passionate about deepening our understanding of God, his mission and our part to play. Carey Graduate School (CGS) exists to serve the church by equipping, forming and developing Christian leaders for faithful service in God’s world. Our aim is to create and equip thinking practitioners, scholars and leaders who will stimulate and resource new knowledge, fresh and critical thinking, and the development of effective praxis in all spheres of society. CGS is firmly established in Holy Scripture and the tradition of classical Christianity but always with attention to the church’s mission, both locally and globally. Incorporating world-class researchers in their fields who have expert knowledge to guide and advise you throughout your study, CGS offers taught papers in a mixed-mode delivery and advanced research thesis options completed under the supervision of experienced, student-focussed faculty. Thesis topics are wide ranging and located in the current concerns of the church and it mission, highlighting the applied nature of theology at Carey and the impact that study has at the coalface of mission and ministry. CGS resources and equips students who have a scholarly research focus or an advanced-practice research focus through its various qualifications: • Postgraduate Diploma in Applied Theology (PGDipAppTheol). • Master of Applied Theology (MAppTheol). • Master of Philosophy (MPhil), a one year full-time equivalent research masters through the Auckland University of Technology. • Doctor of Philosophy (PhD), suitable for students who want to pursue an academic or research career, or a senior position in the public or private sector, offered through the Auckland University of Technology.
I was persuaded to tackle the MAppTheol since it was designed to cater for people in full-time ministry. The first four years, chipping away at a paper or two a year, it worked brilliantly, with plenty of scope for integrating my studies into my church-based ministry. In summary, expect to work hard, but it’s worth it, and I trust it benefits the kingdom more than just the individual.”

Ongoing theological and biblical study is a vital part of my own personal growth, as well as helping me become more competent and confident in following God’s call. Participating in high quality, leading-edge teaching, within the context of a great learning community, and wrestling with practical implications in today’s world continues to inspire. Carey has been the catalyst for an enlarging vision of who God is that is not only strengthening my calling but is making a significant difference in the lives of those around me.”

Our commitment to Māori is based on our desire to understand what living by Te Tiriti means for us all in this Christian learning community.

Studying at Carey Baptist College has allowed me to see further into the vocation of ministering to young people. It has taken me places both physically and mentally that I did not imagine possible. The staff, students, and culture of Carey make it a thriving community of those seeking Christ’s truth in this world. For anyone wanting to discover more about themselves and God's call on their lives, Carey is the place for you.”

Having left my full-time job and travelling overseas on short-term mission, I came back to New Zealand being clear of only one thing—that God wanted me to study and explore his Word.
Over the past eighteen months, I’ve found Carey to be a truly unique place. It is a community where you are welcomed as you are and are embraced no matter where you are at in your faith journey. It provides the opportunity to really dig deep into the Bible and Christianity in a way that can often be difficult in churches today. While being taught and supported by enthusiastic and caring lecturers, you get to walk alongside other students who are equally asking and wrestling with the ‘big’ questions as they seek out what God has in store for them. With its strong focus on living life as Christ's followers, theology applied is inherent to the learning and knowledge one can gain at Carey.”
