GOAL

To satisfy congregants’ hunger for biblical truth
To bring breakthrough to the bottleneck in pastoral staff’s ministries
FEATURES
The establishment of the New Zealand Campus is a response to the call to provide formal and systematic Chinese theological education to help healthy church growth.
Chinese churches and Chinese fellowship groups face the need for quality pastoral staff and spiritual food in light of rapid church growth due to rapid influx of Chinese immigrants. Local resources suitable for formal and systematic Chinese theological education are extremely scarce despite the abundance of online materials. On the contrary, GETS Theological Seminary offers complete theological education curricula, and high quality theological teachers, who are equipped with not only rich knowledge in theology and biblical truth, but also excellent mentoring in spiritual formation.
In the past four years, the students on this campus have accomplished fruitful results and have helped local churches greatly by assuming important ministerial roles in every aspect. New Zealand Campus has indeed achieved its mission at current stage!
