Carey is more than just a place to gain a quality theological education; it’s a place to be part of a fun and caring community. Students and staff interact in the classroom and also over community lunches and coffee breaks, as well as in chapel times and other social events. We take the study side of training very seriously, but you don’t come to Carey for just head knowledge. Who you are as a person, and how you see and feel the world are also significant in developing Christian character. We want to train and prepare people for the multitude of roles available in all sorts of contexts – in churches, in organisations, in your community, in New Zealand, in the rest of the world: whatever, wherever!
In 1926 the Baptist Churches of New Zealand started this college to train people to be ministers of their churches – this type of pastoral leadership training has been the core of our being ever since and now has a much more diverse expression. While our Diploma of Pastoral Leadership training is the best of its kind in New Zealand, it is surrounded by many other training options for all sorts of training needs. Carey is also good for people just wanting to learn more about the Bible and theology.
