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.
