Our Teaching Staff

Carey is a community of faithful scholars who passionately believe theology is the starting point to making a difference. We invite you to join a community centred on the Word, because there is simply nowhere else to begin. We welcome you into a community of theological engagement, because there is no other way to

understand. We ask you to share in a community compelled to participate in God’s redemptive work in the world, because there is simply no other way to be.

Theology is about God. Theology is life-transforming. Theology is applied.

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 CoursesMany 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 CoursesA 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.

Field EducationSome 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 onsite classes,

distance, 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, and block courses for

a study programme that suits your needs.

Carey Baptist College offers a range of course delivery options with the aim of making study

as accessible as possible to you. Currently we have:

Studying at Carey

Community LifeFrom orientation through to graduation we want you to

think of this place, your place, as family. We work hard

at creating a campus that is full of genuine care and

community. This happens through a number of special

events each year such as bagel breakfasts, Community

Life Day, 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 with staff who are committed to

supporting you, both while you study and beyond. So come

and check us out at an Open Day or contact us to arrange

your own personal visit! We look forward to having you as

part of the whanau.

Postgraduate

In accordance with Carey’s mission, the aim of these qualifications is to create thinking practitioners, scholars, and leaders who will stimulate and resource new knowledge, fresh and critical thinking, and the development of effective praxis in Christian ministry, mission, and leadership in New Zealand and beyond.

Postgraduate Diploma and Master of Applied TheologyCarey’s Postgraduate Diploma in Applied

Theology and Master of Applied Theology

provide advanced theological qualifications for

practitioners committed to career-long education.

The programmes aim to support professional

development for pastors and other Christian

ministry practitioners who have high levels

of curriculum knowledge, research skills, and

leadership capacity. In addition the programmes

aim to equip students interested in advancing

academic scholarship, and research in the field of

applied theology.

Master of Philosophy and Doctor of PhilosophyCarey has a Memorandum of Agreement with AUT

University which allows Carey to assist students

in the advanced research degrees of Master of

Philosophy (MPhil) and Doctor of Philosophy (PhD).

Both of these degrees are administered by the

Doctoral Studies Board of AUT and potential

candidates should consult with the Head of Carey

Graduate School, or the Dean of Studies, as well as

reading the relevant publications of AUT.

When Christ ascended to the

right hand of God the Father

he promised he would send his

Holy Spirit who would do, among

other things, two principle works:

first, he will bring to mind what Christ has said and;

second, lead the church into all truth (through John

14-16). The first work was inaugurated with the

canon of Holy Scripture, the apostolic testimony to

God and his works in the world. The second work is

being fulfilled throughout the history of the Church

as Christians read, pray, think, reflect, talk, work,

and respond to the Word and Spirit of God. Carey

Graduate School invites you to join in this Spirit-filled

conversation in order to find your voice and your

place in the Kingdom of God being built amongst the

kingdoms of the world. All theology is applied and all

applications are theological—we call that theology

applied. We welcome you to our community of

scholarship and Christian witness.

Pastoral Leadership

Full-Time (3 Years)

This specialised programme is

strategically designed to prepare

leaders for effective Pastoral Ministry.

Over the duration there is 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

the students own personalised

development track. Local churches

work alongside Carey and offer “hands

on” experience to build ministry skills

and confidence. All of the learning is

constantly enhanced by peer group

experiences where the Pastoral

Leadership students support and

encourage each other as they grow

together as Pastoral Leaders.

Youth Pastoral Leadership

Full-Time (3 Years)

The Youth Pastoral Leadership

programme is designed specifically

to highly equip students intending

on serving long term with youth. The

three year programme offers practical

learning experiences in churches

and other organisations, challenges

students to be more self-aware

leaders, and equips them with the

biblical and theological skills needed

to integrate classroom learning with

a philosophy of youth ministry based

on best practice and contemporary

research. This training is a unique,

holistic approach designed for those

who feel called to youth ministry as a

vocation.

Internships

Full-Time (3 Years) and Part-Time

Options Available

Carey’s Internship programme

is aimed at training reflective

practitioners for Christian ministry in

a local church, mission or vocational

setting. The training programme is

designed for students who have a

training partnership with a church

or Christian ministry organisation.

It seeks to develop their skills

and wisdom in self-reflection,

contextual reflection and integration

of theology and praxis so that they

develop as faithful, creative, and

courageous servants of the gospel

in their various ministry settings.

Carey internships provide intentional

ministry and leadership development

in a vocational setting; supervision

and mentoring by experienced

practitioners; support and feedback

from Carey’s Coordinator of Field

Education; and a facilitated peer group

to share the journey.

Youth Ministry Internships

Full-Time (3 Years) and One year

option available

The Youth Ministry Internship

programme combines distance

learning, block courses, and practical

hands-on experience that helps

students grow and develop in the

knowledge and skills required for

effective ministry with youth—all

while being based in their home

church. Students will interact with

other Interns around the country

through CareyOnline, as well as having

a supervisor, mentor, and getting

input from the Carey Co-ordinator of

Field Education. The training aims to

help students better reflect on and act

out of a sound philosophy of ministry

with youth.

Ministry

MissionCertificate of Intercultural Practice

Full-time (1 Year)

Diploma of Intercultural Practice

Full-time (2 Years)

Mission Track students are part of a

mission oriented peer group studying

for an Applied Theology qualification

alongside a Certificate or Diploma in

Intercultural Practice. The input from

mission practitioners and leaders,

excellent mentoring and a range

of learning experiences including

missional spirituality, intercultural

skills, global awareness and

preparation for participation in God’s

mission, are highly relevant whether

the desire is to serve overseas or closer

to home.

Intermission “More than a Gap Year”

Intermission is a one year full-time

programme designed with recent

school leavers in mind, keen on being

stretched and challenged in their faith,

worldview, and life direction. It is more

than a break; it is a discipleship year for

those at the quarter life stage (17-22),

providing a chance to grow in new

directions. Intermission is a fantastic

opportunity for those who want to

study theology, learn more about what

it means to be a disciple, and experience

mission in the wider community.

The programme focuses on three

different components—discipleship,

vocation, and study. Students will

do personality testing, Strengths

Finders, have one on one mentoring,

and time as a group growing as

disciples, discovering what their

individual strengths and weaknesses

are so that they can give them to the

Kingdom and serve God in the best

way possible. Students go out onto the

streets praying for others, undertake

weekly community placements, and go

on mission trips. All of this is designed

to expose them to different ways of

doing life to help find their unique

calling. In addition, students complete

eight academic courses.

From academic to hands on experience,

from character development to

discipleship training, from weekly

group times to overnight retreats—by

applying for Intermission students

commit themselves to all aspects of the

year, because that is how they get the

most from it. (And Carey is committed

to making it lots of fun too!)

Successful completion of the academic

components in Intermission will lead

to the award of a Carey Certificate of

Applied Theology (NZQA Accredited).

“I feel incredibly privileged to have studied at Carey where academia and life beautifully collide. My time at the college has deepened my understanding of the loving heart of the Father, the person of Christ, and the ever present Spirit. Having genuine access to the Faculty, many of whom have practiced as pastors and missionaries, causes the biblical material taught to be grounded in an applied real world context. My love for God is all the richer for being obedient to His call and coming under the care and covering of this covenant community. It has been empowering and liberating. I have been challenged in my theology to consider not just what I believe but why I believe. Discovering new pathways into the Word has been invaluable in discerning Christ’s voice and will continue to be so as I walk with Emmanuel and His people.”

—LYNDON TWEMLOWPastoral Leadership Student

“I am hugely grateful to be part of the academic community at Carey where excellence in scholarship is firmly grounded in deep relationship with Jesus. I have found studying here to be a life-giving experience that both encourages and equips me to serve in ministry in NZ and overseas. Being a distance student requires me to attend block courses where I have thoroughly enjoyed the warmth and inclusiveness of the staff and students. I can unreservedly say that I feel really blessed and privileged to study under such exceptional lecturers.”

—EMMA STOKESPostgraduate Student (Distance)

At Carey I’ve been enriched in my love of God, his word, his church, his mission, and his world. Biblical courses assisted me to see God and His world through the lens of scripture; studying theology provided a framework for thinking about God and worshiping Him as Holy Trinity; mission and ministry classes prompted reflection on how these beliefs and convictions work out in practice in our world; and all this was done within the context of the vibrant Carey community. In the pastoral leadership track we wrestled together with how we might serve, lead, and equip the church to participate in Christ’s local and global mission. Studies in the postgraduate programme have helped nuance my understanding, and are equipping me to lead in community with clear vision and conviction. This is a transformational place!

—ELLIOT RICEPostgraduate Student

The Bible is the foundation for understanding God, the world, ourselves, the church, and mission. You are invited to broaden your understanding by studying with us. Theology. Applied.
