A Theological college based in Tauranga with a vision to provide Bible College courses for people located anywhere in Aotearoa. Being practical about our what we learn is at the heart of what we do at Pathways. This is particularly evident in our NZQA (Level 5) Internship Course.

Pathways currently offers a one-year, full-time internship programme: the Diploma in Christian Studies. Through the combination of excellent academic study, ministry, and mentoring, these programmes are designed with a focus on discipleship and helping students to grow deeper and wider in their relationship with God and in practical ministry engagement.

A Pathways diploma can be a stepping stone to a full degree in Theology from Carey Baptist College, Laidlaw College or the University of Otago. You can cross-credit your Pathways NZ Diploma in Christian Studies into Carey’s Bachelor of Applied Theology, Otago or Laidlaws’ Bachelor of Theology. You can start your theology degree in Pathways’ highly personalised and practical diploma, then finish your full degree in three of Aotearoa New Zealand’s best theology programmes.
