Here at Carey we wish to partner with you to equip you as you serve and minister in your church. We are offering a Certificate in Ministry Leadership programme especially geared to your needs. This programme may, along with other pre-requisites, become a stepping-stone to further study at Carey.
“Our experience is that a lot of leaders lack English and can’t study in a full-time course. We don’t have confidence. We need to upgrade our theology, ministry and management because many of us have only the experience from our home country and don’t know how to operate in New Zealand.”
