Hello!
There is a simple logic behind the existence of Carey Baptist College.
The mission of God in our world is dependent largely on the health of the people of God. The health of the people of God is dependent largely on the quality of the leadership among God's people. The quality of the leadership is dependent largely on the character of those contexts in which such leaders are shaped and formed. And Carey is one such context. We are confident about the strategic role we play in the mission of God. As we fulfil this role we are ignited by those twin sentences so often sourced to our namesake, William Carey.
“Expect great things from God. Attempt great things for God.”
These sentences breathe passion. There is a boldness here. An excitement. While they inspire, but they speak also of ‘great things’ to which to aspire. Life and service becomes an adventure.
These sentences spark mission. Always have, always will. First spoken on 30 May 1792 in a sermon by William Carey on Isaiah 54:2-3, they have resounded down the decades and across the timezones wherever mission is a priority.
These sentences nurture vision. God-focused vision. The expecting comes before the attempting, the ‘from’ before the ‘for’. Confidence in God lays the foundation for obedience to God.
On this website you will find a college that takes seriously its role within the mission of God. We’d love you to come and help us reach our destination!
