Carey Baptist College is a well established tertiary theological education institution serving the Baptist Churches of New Zealand, and the wider church and wider New Zealand community.
Carey offers a range of NZQA approved qualifications in applied theology, as well as a range of training options which sit alongside academic study for those called to train and equip themselves in leadership for mission or ministry.
Carey is a learning community focused on providing the highest quality theological tertiary training to Christians wanting to explore their faith more. While we have gained a reputation for being a research-led academic institution of quality, we direct this excellence towards an applied learning which enables graduates to serve and think and lead in a way that advances God’s mission in the world.
We offer our own Bachelor of Applied Theology degree, a Master of Applied Theology, and supervise PhD theses in theology for AUT University. We provide specialist training for those preparing for ministry and mission leadership including: pastoral leadership, youth pastoral leadership, children and family, inter-cultural and pioneer leadership.
Our graduates have gone on to become pastors, mission co-ordinators, youth leaders and church planters. Others serve in ministries such as chaplaincy, advocacy, non-profit organisations, or continue within the marketplace.
While we serve the largely evangelical-charismatic family of churches in the Baptist Union of New Zealand, about 40% of our students are drawn from other Christian streams.
For 90 years Carey has served the church in New Zealand by producing leaders for ministry and mission. At Carey we believe the Bible is the foundation for…understanding God, understanding the world, understanding ourselves, understanding the church, understanding mission.
Our teaching and support staff are passionate about Jesus and Carey and believe that theology is the starting point to making a difference. They are committed to supporting every student at Carey to achieve their absolute best.
Carey is situated in the suburb of Penrose, a very central location about 10kms south of Auckland CBD.The campus is very close to the Southern motorway and in close proximity to train stations and bus routes. There is plenty of free parking spaces on-site for students and visitors.

Carey is proud to be affiliated with and adhere to the high standards of quality teaching of the accreditation bodies and associations.
We pray that our graduates will be leaders, thinkers, and risk-takers; people who are innovative, globally aware, outward looking, and very God-dependent.
Our graduates include pastors, mission co-ordinators, youth leaders, church planters, armed forces chaplains, advocates and those working in academic positions and in non-profit organisations. Others continue within the marketplace intersecting their faith with chosen vocation.
“After several enjoyable years of ministry, I sensed I needed to be better equipped to engage scripture, faith, mission and culture for those God had called me to. Like many I came looking to complete a degree and to gain a qualification. What I received was a nurturing and formational education for faith-filled living and leadership among Gods people… not to mention a renewed passion for the Gospel and its transformative and eternal impact through Jesus. Carey was the right choice.”
