Christ College New Zealand
Our campus in Auckland gives the New Zealand church access to exceptional theological formation. Why? Because, we long to see God glorified in New Zealand.
Christ College is located just south of the city centre, in Manurewa. Here, Christ College faculty, from both campuses, work with a small but diverse body of students.

“I am convinced that New Zealand must have its own reformed theological college. We need a place where men and women who are concerned about the glory of God and the eternal destiny of their fellow Kiwis can be well trained to minister God’s word in our multicultural society. Christ College is such a college. Our firm foundation in historic Christianity and commitment to missional engagement make Christ College the best option for someone seeking fully accredited Reformed theological training in New Zealand”
– Geoff Macpherson, Head of Campus of Christ College New Zealand
“The venue is different, but our vision and mission remains unchanged. We want to train future leaders who are committed to real kingdom growth in New Zealand”
– Ian Smith, Principal of Christ College
