I ’m thrilled that you’ve opened this prospectus. It maps out the range of exciting learning pathways
on offer at Carey. Here, at the beginning, let me quickly share with you why I love Carey, and why
I’m excited that you’re considering studying with us.
Deep learning
Do you want to grow in your knowledge of God, ministry, mission? Wherever you’ve got to in your
learning, Carey is a learning community where you can go deeper. Our staff are always learning.
As world‑class scholars they’re widely respected for their research. As experienced practitioners,
they’re deeply involved in the work of ministry and mission. Carey is a very supportive intercultural
community where people from a wide range of cultures and church backgrounds can learn deeply.
Faithful following
Do you want to grow in your love for Jesus and your faithfulness to his calling on your life?
At Carey we believe that faithful discipleship and fruitful ministry require the development of
biblical convictions together with practical skills, emotional health, and spiritual depth. Our training
pathways—especially our ministry and mission tracks—emphasise formation of the whole person
in the image of Jesus, our Lord and Saviour.
Intentional engagement
Do you want to make a difference in this world? At Carey we have a strongly integrative approach
to theology. You’ll learn to bring the resources of the Christian faith into conversation both with the
realities of our context and the practices of Christian life and leadership today. We believe that the
God of mission who we worship is at work in the world by his Spirit to reconcile all of creation in
Christ. Our learning and growth is oriented towards Spirit‑empowered participation in that mission.
At Carey we specialise in training people who are preparing for, or engaged in, pastoral and missional
leadership. However, as you’ll see from the pages that follow, we provide a range of excellent
pathways for anyone wanting to grow in their faith in Jesus and their involvement in his mission in
this world. If you have any questions or suggestions, please email me at john.tucker@carey.ac.nz.
Ngā mihi nui,
Dr John Tucker

Our values
Ō mātou mea nui
Evangelical in our identity
For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings
salvation to everyone who believes.
C arey is founded on the word of God and is shaped by a generous
evangelicalism. We love Jesus and look to him. Our learning together
is done within the liberating constraints of the lordship of Christ and the
inspiration of the Bible.
“What I love about the spirit of evangelicalism that exists at Carey is that
study is always seen and talked about as part of an active and vibrant faith.
It’s never seeking to do its thing divorced from the life we live as followers of
Jesus in the world,” says Pastoral Leadership graduate Andrew Clark-Howard.
“Carey has deepened my discipleship to Christ. It’s been a space to allow
Jesus to shape my life and order my thoughts after his gospel to better
understand his word and his world.”
Holistic in our formation
O ur goal is not just to communicate information, but to
facilitate transformation. Our training emphasises formation
of you as a whole person. It is designed to develop your
knowledge, your skills, your character and spirituality.
Mum of four daughters, Nicola Mountfort, had no clear plan
for what she would be doing when she filled in her enrolment
form—she just felt God nudging her to get her head up to speed
with her heart.
“The learning I’m doing has helped me in all aspects of my
life. Everything just integrates so beautifully: biblical learning,
theological learning, ministry training—it all somehow moulds
together and makes me love Jesus even more.”
Integrative in our theology
W hen you study at Carey, you’ll learn to integrate the resources of the
Christian faith with the realities of your context and the practices of
ministry today.
Tony Versey, senior pastor at Northgate Baptist Church, has found study at
Carey has revolutionised the way he understands pastoring. “It’s given me
a fresh sense of who I am and what I’m about and added an even greater
dimension to ministry life.”
After 25 years of being in ministry Tony felt a call back to study three
years ago.
“Study has not only been amazing for my preaching, giving me a greater
depth of teaching, but it has also given me a confidence in how I conduct
myself. The way I think and operate as a person, the way I teach and present
myself as a pastor.”
5
Relational in our pedagogy
W e prioritise relationship in our learning, and that’s been Sela
Havili’s experience. Anglican Priest and solo mum to four children,
Sela doesn’t see Carey as an institution but as her academic family.
“Support and relationship, that’s where I feel it the most. It’s family!
Everyone is vying for all of us to keep moving forward. Carey is like
an oasis in the city. The city moves forward but when you’re in the
space of Carey everyone is moving at the same level and no one is
falling behind.”
Carey’s supportive learning environment gives students unparalleled
access to lecturers. “It’s actually a genuine honest relationship between
students and lecturers and everyone in that space. It is the best
experience. My faith has grown so profoundly. It’s a beautiful place to
be in and I love how Carey has been able to create a space that allows
my brother and sisters from the Pasifika to feel at home.”
Intercultural in our community
Ko au te whenua, ko te whenua ko au. Ko Te Tiriti o Waitangi waharoa e
kuhu ana ngā mātā waka i te whenua. Tēna ko Ihu Karaiti e karanga ana atu.
I am the land, and the land is me. The Treaty of Waitangi is the gate that
gathers all waka to this land. That is Jesus Christ giving the same call.
C arey is a community that seeks to embody the vision of Te Tiriti
o Waitangi. We want to honour the diverse and distinctive gifts
of every culture and uphold the covenantal commitment between
tangata whenua and tangata te tiriti.
“I was a skinny white boy who didn’t understand the reo.” That’s how
Pastoral Leadership student Jono Edmeades describes his experience
at Ihumātao. His placement involved exploring what the church
could look like in Aotearoa in the 21st century and that journey drew
him to spend time with the land protection movement at Ihumātao.
“God grew in me an increased willingness to lay down the standard
way of doing things and go. That is what genuine relationship
involves. Stepping into others’ spaces, learning to ‘be still’ in order to
listen and learn humbly.”
Missional in our orientation
O ur learning is oriented towards Spirit-enabled participation in
God’s mission of reconciling all people and all of creation in
Christ. We exist to help our students answer the question, “How can
I participate faithfully in that mission?”
Carey graduate and pastor, Monique Lee, used to think mission was
being called to go overseas, living in a slum somewhere and never
seeing your family again. Through her time at Carey, and community
placements with UNOH (Urban Neighbours of Hope) and Māngere
Baptist Church, she has come to believe it is something very different.
“Carey was really good at unpicking those preconceived ideas—
the baggage you grow up with—and putting an accurate, biblical
framework around it, rather than assumptions. Mission happens
through relationship. And isn’t that the gospel? Interaction with the
good news that is real.
Yes God is in church, but he’s also gone out for the sheep on the hills
that are not yet in the fold, and that’s where he spends most of his
time—I want to join him there.”

Study your way—
flexible study options
He ngāwari ngā whiriwhiringa ki te ako
H ere at Carey we are committed to the notion of ako—being a learning community together, and building a diverse and
intercultural community that supports, nurtures and facilitates transformative learning.
When you study at Carey you have a range of options and modes of engaging with your courses. Study on-site at our
Penrose campus in Auckland, or choose to study by distance. An increasing number of our students choose to undertake
learning at a distance in order to remain in their own regional contexts. All NZQA courses are semester-based, and are
taught either through weekly classes (classroom or online), or in block-mode. Block mode allows students to come on
campus for smaller intensives (from two to five days). Some courses are practical field-based education, meaning that you
can learn ‘on-the-job’ in your church or community-based ministry contexts.
For most programmes, you can also choose to study full-time or part-time, taking one or more courses per semester
depending on just how much time you are able to commit to your learning at that point in time. Choose the approach
which best fits your own situation and needs.
Regardless of your mode of study, you will use a range of web-based learning platforms to enable you to interact with
fellow students. This provides a learning community that will support you in your studies, allowing relationships to develop
and creating spaces for exploration, discussion and interaction. There are also opportunities to build relationships through
our weekly lunches, in classes, through our formation opportunities, at our weekly chapel and through prayer. We would
love you to come and be part of our Carey community!
Get in touch to discuss how study at Carey can best meet your needs!

T he Carey teaching faculty is a community of faithful scholars who are at the cutting edge of Applied Theology research
and teaching. They are not only highly qualified and respected academics whose research outputs have made Carey the
highest ranked non‑university research institute in Aotearoa, they are also active practitioners applying what they learn
and teach in church, mission, and community contexts. Above all, they are followers of Jesus who want to live out their
faith in authentic Christ‑centred lives.
In addition to the resident faculty, learning at Carey is enriched by contributions from adjunct and visiting lecturers
including international scholars, Māori Christian leaders and academics, and practitioner‑theologians with a range of
ministry and mission experience.
Our learning prioritises relationship and Carey’s teaching team take seriously the values of ako and whakawhanaungatanga.
They take a genuine personal interest in their students and their formation, and authentic relationships develop as they
sit together at lunch and share in worship and community events. Both on‑site and distance students find Carey lecturers
accessible and friendships often continue long beyond a student’s time at Carey.

Ko te kura paetahi o Carey
I’ve always been interested in theology and God seems
to be guiding me into postgraduate theological study.
My current interests are in theological investigations into
the dominance of monocultural accounts of multi‑ethnic
New Zealand. So my research enquires into the dominance
of whiteness in churches and communities and considers
how they might become truly multicultural. I’m fascinated
with Revelation and how John’s account of the nations
might provide light and insight into issues of whiteness and
superdiversity in New Zealand. I don’t know where this will
lead but ultimately, I guess, this will result in me serving
the church.”

All taught courses are full year, on campus block delivery (full days).* Options include:
MA801 Research Methods in Applied Theology (compulsory course) | (30 credits) | Dr Sandy Kerr & Dr George Wieland
It is commonly said that the researcher is the main research instrument, shaping every aspect of a research project. Carey’s research
methods course encourages self-reflexivity in order to understand your impact as the researcher while you shape a research project applied
to a real-world issue of importance to you. The class will engage with a wide range of research practitioners, learning from their experience
and together critically examining research methods across the traditional Christian disciplines and their intersection with related disciplines.
You will design a research project that integrates different types of knowledge in order to inform the thriving of God’s church and world, and
be ready to conduct your own research project within a rich and diverse community of Christian researchers at Carey.
MA804 Intercultural Bible Reading | (30 credits) | Dr George Wieland
Global migration is transforming New Zealand. How can the Bible equip us to live and minister cross-culturally? This course brings theory
and practice together in an exploration of what happens when a variety of groups representing various ethnicities and situations read and
respond to the same Bible passages. Together we’ll facilitate those encounters, record the conversations, and analyse the results. In the
process, we’ll discover insights about the Bible, about its readers, and about the different ways in which it is heard and takes effect in those
readers’ lives and communities. Through all this your understanding of others and of yourself will deepen and you’ll cultivate the dispositions
and skills for fruitful intercultural community and ministry.
MA826 Kingdom Economics | (30 credits) | Dr Sarah Harris & Dr Michael Rhodes
The full impact of COVID-19 upon global and local economies is not yet known, but we do know it will have a significant financial impact
upon churches, organisations and nations. This course will provide a rigorous exploration of Old and New Testament biblical texts that
address theological economics, and explore a selection of contemporary economic theories, in order to shape our imaginations for economic
decision-making. We will also sit at the table with Christian leaders and entrepreneurs to learn from those who lead creatively and
courageously. The aim is to resource you and your church to form creative and courageous responses to the current crisis.
MA827 Theology, Race and Church | (30 credits) | Dr Christa McKirland & Andrew Picard
The rise of the #blacklivesmatter movement and protests about racism around the world raise important issues for theology and the
church, not least because of the church’s entanglement in the construction of the modern racial condition. This course examines historical
and contemporary misappropriations of theology in the development of current racial issues, and explores the biblical and theological
possibilities for a gospel-centred account of the church’s anti-racial witness to God’s kingdom. The aim is to understand contemporary
global and national issues, and examine possibilities for the church’s faithful witness to God in the face of racism.
MA828 Discipleship and Gospel Transformation | (30 credits) | Dr Mick Duncan
It is often said that if you get the gospel wrong, you get everything wrong. In conversation with N.T. Wright we will ask: What, then, is the
gospel? Likewise, in conversation with Dietrich Bonhoeffer we will be asking: What are the measures of discipleship? And in conversation
with John Wesley we will ask: How then can we design churches to produce people who embody kingdom holiness, where holiness is in part
love of neighbour and neighbourhood? The aim is to retool Christian leaders, churches and their wider communities for the revolution that
Jesus began.

Pastoral Leadership
Hautūtanga mō ngā minita
I chose Carey because I wanted to study theology in
community and be prepared for ministry in Aotearoa—
whether pastoring a church, or continuing as a secondary
school English teacher. I wanted to delve into the scriptures
to understand how I could best serve other people and
become better equipped to share my faith.
Theological study and Pastoral Leadership training have
together deepened my conviction that while all ministry
is God’s, I’m able to participate in God’s work by faithfully
responding to context, gifting, and my sense of call. Carey has
enabled me to explore all of these with support from a diverse
and intimate cohort, and I’ve acquired skills in congregational
leadership, preaching and pastoral care that will help me to express my
faith truthfully and lovingly wherever God leads me.”

at Carey and participating in Mission Track. Carey has really made her
take a step back and think.
It’s helped me to question, deconstruct and construct at
the same time. It’s been great to talk with students who
are similarly minded and with teachers who have so much
wisdom. I’ve really enjoyed hearing the diverse expressions
of mission. Mission Track has broadened my sense of what
mission is and helped me to realise that everyone comes from
different journeys. There’s more than one way and that’s beautiful.”

women in theology. There are not nearly
enough women in leadership in churches or in
academia and it’s heartening to think of how
many women before and after me who will
get to study when previously they might not
have been able to because of financial barriers
in the way. As well as financial support, I think
this scholarship will help many women, who
might not have before, to believe that they
have got what it takes, because we do!
Carey has really helped me to think
theologically and understand the cosmic
purposes of God and our participation
in God’s grand story of renewing and
redeeming creation. It’s so captivating that
this is inextricably tied up with issues of
race, culture, poverty and humanity. Most
importantly, I know Jesus more intimately. I’m
still not sure what I want to do after study but
I do know that whether it be in theology or
another discipline this degree is going to be
a firm foundation and a lens through which to
view everything.
This scholarship is going to enable many
amazing women who have brilliant minds to
come through Carey to dig deeper, love and
know God more, and contribute significantly
to God’s kingdom.”

Lifelong Learning
L et us help bring new vigour and freshness to your ministry.
Culture is shifting quickly and dramatically and the practice of
ministry and mission within New Zealand is becoming increasingly
demanding. The most effective and resilient leaders are those who
keep learning.
Professional development cannot be an optional extra for
leaders involved in Christian ministry and mission.
And this is why the Carey Centre for Lifelong Learning
is such an incredible gift to the church in New Zealand and
beyond. It will keep you current in your thinking and practices, and
introduce you to different and innovative ways of doing things. It will
bring a healthy level of accountability to your thinking and practice, and
provide friendship and support through such things as cohorts, supervision,
conferences, and online social media.
I really love the training options that are available for the year ahead around robust
leadership, growing disciples, authentic worship, healthy resources, and effective
mission—the very things that will help Baptist churches bring Gospel renewal to
people and places.
The Carey Centre for Lifelong Learning provides world-class professional development
options for leaders—I encourage you to sign up today and become more effective in
your leadership!
