I
’m thrilled that you’ve opened this prospectus. It maps out the range of exciting learning pathways on offer at Carey. Here, at the beginning, let me quickly share with you why I love Carey, and why I’m excited that you’re considering studying with us.
Deep learning Do you want to grow in your knowledge of God, ministry, mission? Wherever you’ve got to in your learning, Carey is a learning community where you can go deeper. Our staff are always learning. As world‑class scholars they’re widely respected for their research. As experienced practitioners, they’re deeply involved in the work of ministry and mission. Carey is a very supportive intercultural community where people from a wide range of cultures and church backgrounds can learn deeply.
Faithful following Do you want to grow in your love for Jesus and your faithfulness to his calling on your life? At Carey we believe that faithful discipleship and fruitful ministry require the development of biblical convictions together with practical skills, emotional health, and spiritual depth. Our training pathways—especially our ministry and mission tracks—emphasise formation of the whole person in the image of Jesus, our Lord and Saviour.
Intentional engagement Do you want to make a difference in this world? At Carey we have a strongly integrative approach to theology. You’ll learn to bring the resources of the Christian faith into conversation both with the realities of our context and the practices of Christian life and leadership today. We believe that the God of mission who we worship is at work in the world by his Spirit to reconcile all of creation in Christ. Our learning and growth is oriented towards Spirit‑empowered participation in that mission. At Carey we specialise in training people who are preparing for, or engaged in, pastoral and missional leadership. However, as you’ll see from the pages that follow, we provide a range of excellent pathways for anyone wanting to grow in their faith in Jesus and their involvement in his mission in this world. If you have any questions or suggestions, please email me at john.tucker@carey.ac.nz. Ngā mihi nui,
Dr John Tucker Principal

Our values Ō mātou mea nui
Evangelical in our identity For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes.
C
arey is founded on the word of God and is shaped by a generous evangelicalism. We love Jesus and look to him. Our learning together is done within the liberating constraints of the lordship of Christ and the inspiration of the Bible. “What I love about the spirit of evangelicalism that exists at Carey is that study is always seen and talked about as part of an active and vibrant faith. It’s never seeking to do its thing divorced from the life we live as followers of Jesus in the world,” says Pastoral Leadership graduate Andrew Clark-Howard. “Carey has deepened my discipleship to Christ. It’s been a space to allow Jesus to shape my life and order my thoughts after his gospel to better understand his word and his world.”
Holistic in our formation
O
ur goal is not just to communicate information, but to facilitate transformation. Our training emphasises formation of you as a whole person. It is designed to develop your knowledge, your skills, your character and spirituality. Mum of four daughters, Nicola Mountfort, had no clear plan for what she would be doing when she filled in her enrolment form—she just felt God nudging her to get her head up to speed with her heart. “The learning I’m doing has helped me in all aspects of my life. Everything just integrates so beautifully: biblical learning, theological learning, ministry training—it all somehow moulds together and makes me love Jesus even more.”
Integrative in our theology
W
hen you study at Carey, you’ll learn to integrate the resources of the Christian faith with the realities of your context and the practices of ministry today. Tony Versey, senior pastor at Northgate Baptist Church, has found study at Carey has revolutionised the way he understands pastoring. “It’s given me a fresh sense of who I am and what I’m about and added an even greater dimension to ministry life.” After 25 years of being in ministry Tony felt a call back to study three years ago. “Study has not only been amazing for my preaching, giving me a greater depth of teaching, but it has also given me a confidence in how I conduct myself. The way I think and operate as a person, the way I teach and present myself as a pastor.”
5
Relational in our pedagogy
W
e prioritise relationship in our learning, and that’s been Sela Havili’s experience. Anglican Priest and solo mum to four children, Sela doesn’t see Carey as an institution but as her academic family. “Support and relationship, that’s where I feel it the most. It’s family! Everyone is vying for all of us to keep moving forward. Carey is like an oasis in the city. The city moves forward but when you’re in the space of Carey everyone is moving at the same level and no one is falling behind.” Carey’s supportive learning environment gives students unparalleled access to lecturers. “It’s actually a genuine honest relationship between students and lecturers and everyone in that space. It is the best experience. My faith has grown so profoundly. It’s a beautiful place to be in and I love how Carey has been able to create a space that allows my brother and sisters from the Pasifika to feel at home.”
Intercultural in our community Ko au te whenua, ko te whenua ko au. Ko Te Tiriti o Waitangi waharoa e kuhu ana ngā mātā waka i te whenua. Tēna ko Ihu Karaiti e karanga ana atu. I am the land, and the land is me. The Treaty of Waitangi is the gate that gathers all waka to this land. That is Jesus Christ giving the same call.
C
arey is a community that seeks to embody the vision of Te Tiriti o Waitangi. We want to honour the diverse and distinctive gifts of every culture and uphold the covenantal commitment between tangata whenua and tangata te tiriti. “I was a skinny white boy who didn’t understand the reo.” That’s how Pastoral Leadership student Jono Edmeades describes his experience at Ihumātao. His placement involved exploring what the church could look like in Aotearoa in the 21st century and that journey drew him to spend time with the land protection movement at Ihumātao. “God grew in me an increased willingness to lay down the standard way of doing things and go. That is what genuine relationship involves. Stepping into others’ spaces, learning to ‘be still’ in order to listen and learn humbly.”
Missional in our orientation
O
ur learning is oriented towards Spirit-enabled participation in God’s mission of reconciling all people and all of creation in Christ. We exist to help our students answer the question, “How can I participate faithfully in that mission?” Carey graduate and pastor, Monique Lee, used to think mission was being called to go overseas, living in a slum somewhere and never seeing your family again. Through her time at Carey, and community placements with UNOH (Urban Neighbours of Hope) and Māngere Baptist Church, she has come to believe it is something very different. “Carey was really good at unpicking those preconceived ideas— the baggage you grow up with—and putting an accurate, biblical framework around it, rather than assumptions. Mission happens through relationship. And isn’t that the gospel? Interaction with the good news that is real. Yes God is in church, but he’s also gone out for the sheep on the hills that are not yet in the fold, and that’s where he spends most of his time—I want to join him there.”

Study your way— flexible study options He ngāwari ngā whiriwhiringa ki te ako
H
ere at Carey we are committed to the notion of ako—being a learning community together, and building a diverse and intercultural community that supports, nurtures and facilitates transformative learning.
When you study at Carey you have a range of options and modes of engaging with your courses. Study on-site at our Penrose campus in Auckland, or choose to study by distance. An increasing number of our students choose to undertake learning at a distance in order to remain in their own regional contexts. All NZQA courses are semester-based, and are taught either through weekly classes (classroom or online), or in block-mode. Block mode allows students to come on campus for smaller intensives (from two to five days). Some courses are practical field-based education, meaning that you can learn ‘on-the-job’ in your church or community-based ministry contexts. For most programmes, you can also choose to study full-time or part-time, taking one or more courses per semester depending on just how much time you are able to commit to your learning at that point in time. Choose the approach which best fits your own situation and needs. Regardless of your mode of study, you will use a range of web-based learning platforms to enable you to interact with fellow students. This provides a learning community that will support you in your studies, allowing relationships to develop and creating spaces for exploration, discussion and interaction. There are also opportunities to build relationships through our weekly lunches, in classes, through our formation opportunities, at our weekly chapel and through prayer. We would love you to come and be part of our Carey community! Get in touch to discuss how study at Carey can best meet your needs!

T
he 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 whose research outputs have made Carey the highest ranked non‑university research institute in Aotearoa, 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 live 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, Māori Christian leaders and academics, and practitioner‑theologians with a range of ministry and mission experience. Our learning prioritises relationship and Carey’s teaching team take seriously the values of ako and whakawhanaungatanga. They take a genuine personal interest in their students and their formation, and authentic relationships 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.

Carey Graduate School Ko te kura paetahi o Carey
I’ve always been interested in theology and God seems to be guiding me into postgraduate theological study. My current interests are in theological investigations into the dominance of monocultural accounts of multi‑ethnic New Zealand. So my research enquires into the dominance of whiteness in churches and communities and considers how they might become truly multicultural. I’m fascinated with Revelation and how John’s account of the nations might provide light and insight into issues of whiteness and superdiversity in New Zealand. I don’t know where this will lead but ultimately, I guess, this will result in me serving the church.”

individuals, communities, cultures and all creation. As a result, thesis topics can be wide ranging and deeply engaged in contemporary concerns of theology, the church, and God’s mission in the world. They draw from a range of research methodologies to enquire into the intersection of theology and lived reality. Our primary aim is to resource the church and society with compelling insights into the redemptive possibilities of the Christian faith for our time and place. This approach invites disciplinary research within the field of theological study, as well as interdisciplinary approaches that explore the intersection of theology and other related academic disciplines for more robust accounts of reality. The goal is to develop a body of integrative theological research that will both inform and encourage ongoing consideration within the wider church. We invite you to join our community of integrative theologians as we share together in the fruits of our research journeys. Nau mai, haere mai ki te kura paetahi o Carey.

Carey Graduate School 2021 courses All taught courses are full year, on campus block delivery (full days).* Options include: MA801 Research Methods in Applied Theology (compulsory course) | (30 credits) | Dr Sandy Kerr & Dr George Wieland It is commonly said that the researcher is the main research instrument, shaping every aspect of a research project. Carey’s research methods course encourages self-reflexivity in order to understand your impact as the researcher while you shape a research project applied to a real-world issue of importance to you. The class will engage with a wide range of research practitioners, learning from their experience and together critically examining research methods across the traditional Christian disciplines and their intersection with related disciplines. You will design a research project that integrates different types of knowledge in order to inform the thriving of God’s church and world, and be ready to conduct your own research project within a rich and diverse community of Christian researchers at Carey.
MA804 Intercultural Bible Reading | (30 credits) | Dr George Wieland Global migration is transforming New Zealand. How can the Bible equip us to live and minister cross-culturally? This course brings theory and practice together in an exploration of what happens when a variety of groups representing various ethnicities and situations read and respond to the same Bible passages. Together we’ll facilitate those encounters, record the conversations, and analyse the results. In the process, we’ll discover insights about the Bible, about its readers, and about the different ways in which it is heard and takes effect in those readers’ lives and communities. Through all this your understanding of others and of yourself will deepen and you’ll cultivate the dispositions and skills for fruitful intercultural community and ministry.
MA826 Kingdom Economics | (30 credits) | Dr Sarah Harris & Dr Michael Rhodes The full impact of COVID-19 upon global and local economies is not yet known, but we do know it will have a significant financial impact upon churches, organisations and nations. This course will provide a rigorous exploration of Old and New Testament biblical texts that address theological economics, and explore a selection of contemporary economic theories, in order to shape our imaginations for economic decision-making. We will also sit at the table with Christian leaders and entrepreneurs to learn from those who lead creatively and courageously. The aim is to resource you and your church to form creative and courageous responses to the current crisis.
MA827 Theology, Race and Church | (30 credits) | Dr Christa McKirland & Andrew Picard The rise of the #blacklivesmatter movement and protests about racism around the world raise important issues for theology and the church, not least because of the church’s entanglement in the construction of the modern racial condition. This course examines historical and contemporary misappropriations of theology in the development of current racial issues, and explores the biblical and theological possibilities for a gospel-centred account of the church’s anti-racial witness to God’s kingdom. The aim is to understand contemporary global and national issues, and examine possibilities for the church’s faithful witness to God in the face of racism.
MA828 Discipleship and Gospel Transformation | (30 credits) | Dr Mick Duncan It is often said that if you get the gospel wrong, you get everything wrong. In conversation with N.T. Wright we will ask: What, then, is the gospel? Likewise, in conversation with Dietrich Bonhoeffer we will be asking: What are the measures of discipleship? And in conversation with John Wesley we will ask: How then can we design churches to produce people who embody kingdom holiness, where holiness is in part love of neighbour and neighbourhood? The aim is to retool Christian leaders, churches and their wider communities for the revolution that Jesus began. *For block course dates please see the Carey timetable.
Other research courses include: MA821 Research Essay (30 credits)

Pastoral Leadership Hautūtanga mō ngā minita
I chose Carey because I wanted to study theology in community and be prepared for ministry in Aotearoa— whether pastoring a church, or continuing as a secondary school English teacher. I wanted to delve into the scriptures to understand how I could best serve other people and become better equipped to share my faith. Theological study and Pastoral Leadership training have together deepened my conviction that while all ministry is God’s, I’m able to participate in God’s work by faithfully responding to context, gifting, and my sense of call. Carey has enabled me to explore all of these with support from a diverse and intimate cohort, and I’ve acquired skills in congregational leadership, preaching and pastoral care that will help me to express my faith truthfully and lovingly wherever God leads me.”

Youth Pastoral Leadership Hautūtanga mō ngā minita rangatahi
I chose Youth Pastoral Leadership (YPL) because my passion lies with teenagers and seeing them discover their worth in Jesus. I’ve learnt organisational leadership, how to be an emotionally intelligent and self-aware leader and how to lead a team well—all great skills that’s equipped me to lead in different contexts. YPL is great because you train with like-minded people and it is a safe space where everyone brings their own perspectives and experience. I have loved my three years at Carey and would recommend YPL to anyone who is passionate about the youth of Aotearoa.”

oe Hing-Windsor feels a call to go to India but doesn’t know when that will be. In the meantime she is preparing herself with study at Carey and participating in Mission Track. Carey has really made her take a step back and think. It’s helped me to question, deconstruct and construct at the same time. It’s been great to talk with students who are similarly minded and with teachers who have so much wisdom. I’ve really enjoyed hearing the diverse expressions of mission. Mission Track has broadened my sense of what mission is and helped me to realise that everyone comes from different journeys. There’s more than one way and that’s beautiful.”

Intermission Whakatere te tawhātanga
Intermission has been a life changing experience. I joined Intermission thinking I will simply learn more about God and the Bible but I have also learned so much more! I have learned how our society and worldviews are shaped and the powers and principalities behind it all. A highlight would probably be all the different contexts that we get placed in and then having to reflect on what we learned from our experiences. Knowing what I know now I can’t not live my life differently after this year.”

o you want to live a life that’s full on for Jesus? A life where you can apply your faith and be all God has called you to be? Intermission is a one year full-time discipleship programme packed with adventure as you learn more about God, the world, and your place in it. 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.

Children & Family Leadership Hautūtanga mo ngā whānau me ngā tamariki
Carey study has allowed me to think about things more intentionally... One of the best insights that I have learned from Carey across all my papers is the focus on self-care. Even if you love your job, you should still try and devote some time to rest.”

It is so fabulous that a scholarship exists for women in theology. There are not nearly enough women in leadership in churches or in academia and it’s heartening to think of how many women before and after me who will get to study when previously they might not have been able to because of financial barriers in the way. As well as financial support, I think this scholarship will help many women, who might not have before, to believe that they have got what it takes, because we do! Carey has really helped me to think theologically and understand the cosmic purposes of God and our participation in God’s grand story of renewing and redeeming creation. It’s so captivating that this is inextricably tied up with issues of race, culture, poverty and humanity. Most importantly, I know Jesus more intimately. I’m still not sure what I want to do after study but I do know that whether it be in theology or another discipline this degree is going to be a firm foundation and a lens through which to view everything. This scholarship is going to enable many amazing women who have brilliant minds to come through Carey to dig deeper, love and know God more, and contribute significantly to God’s kingdom.”

Carey Centre for Lifelong Learning L
et us help bring new vigour and freshness to your ministry. Culture is shifting quickly and dramatically and the practice of ministry and mission within New Zealand is becoming increasingly demanding. The most effective and resilient leaders are those who keep learning.
Professional development cannot be an optional extra for leaders involved in Christian ministry and mission. And this is why the Carey Centre for Lifelong Learning is such an incredible gift to the church in New Zealand and beyond. It will keep you current in your thinking and practices, and introduce you to different and innovative ways of doing things. It will bring a healthy level of accountability to your thinking and practice, and provide friendship and support through such things as cohorts, supervision, conferences, and online social media. I really love the training options that are available for the year ahead around robust leadership, growing disciples, authentic worship, healthy resources, and effective mission—the very things that will help Baptist churches bring Gospel renewal to people and places. The Carey Centre for Lifelong Learning provides world-class professional development options for leaders—I encourage you to sign up today and become more effective in your leadership!
