As we pause to remember Queen Elizabeth II, we at Laidlaw College are grateful to God for her faithfulness, and that she followed a greater Servant King who has now welcomed her into his saving arms.

Laidlaw Centre for Church Leadership has the privilege of hosting Mark Sayers at the end of June for a special lunch for Pastors and Leaders of Christian organisations. The events will be held in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch and we pray will be an encouragement to all who attend.

​With disappointment, we have decided to postpone the Auckland Graduation ceremony planned for 21 May, to 29 October 2022.

At our last Engage breakfast in February we heard from Dr Myk Habets, from the School of Theology. Myk has published extensively on Spirit Christology and a theological movement called Third Article Theology. Myk is working on a revised and expanded edition of a book he wrote a decade ago on Spirit Christology (The Anointed Son) and he spoke with us about some of these additions.

Nau mai haere mai – welcome to Laidlaw College in 2022! You’re joining this community, or continuing your studies, at a particularly significant time in Laidaw’s history. One hundred years ago, the New Zealand Bible Training Institute was formed out of a vision to see students equipped to spread the Gospel across Aotearoa and around the world. It’s a story of courage, faithfulness, and decades of impact as graduates have taken what they have learned and responded to God’s call on their lives.
