Grant Harris is the Chair of the Carey Baptist College Board, as well as the Lead Pastor at Windsor Park Baptist Church in Auckland.
This article follows our call for expressions of interest in the Principal role at our college.
The Boards of Carey Baptist College, the National Council of the Baptist Union of New Zealand, and NZBMS (Arotahi) are pleased to recommend the appointment of the next Principal of Carey Baptist College.
Today, all fully constituted member Baptist churches have been emailed a profile of our recommendation and instructions on how to participate in the appointment of this senior staff member of the Baptist Union of New Zealand.
The Principal Recruitment Team undertook a prayerful, thorough, and transparent process of discernment. Alongside all three of our national boards, we believe the Spirit has led us to make this joint recommendation to the member churches of the Baptist Union of New Zealand. We believe the person has the skills, experience, and character to lead Carey into its next chapter, as the College marks its centenary and prepares to move to a new campus later this year. The recommendation is a collaborative leader who has already endeared themself to many through this process.
Subject to approval from the churches (which we would normally seek at National Hui; however, the timing of this appointment is outside a reasonable timeframe for that process), the person could begin in time for the second semester at Carey in July 2025.
We invite your participation in this recommendation by Monday, 9th June, 2025. If you have any questions, you are verywelcome to contact me, the chair of Carey’s board, on 021 408 883 or email [email protected].
Keep an eye out for full details from your local church leadership about the recommendation and how your church will participate in the voting process.
