Public Lectures and Events

Make sure you receive information about the public lectures or conferences being held at our Waitakere, Manukau or Christchurch campuses. Many of these events are free. Some feature internationally recognised scholars that you would usually only be able to engage with through the books they have written. Attending these events is one way to keep your interest in theological engagement and the integration of faith and life active without the pressure of assignments and exams.

Resources for Church Leaders

Laidlaw Centre for Church Leadership, is an expression of Laidlaw College’s desire to serve the church and be a mutual partner in the Gospel. Its aim is to bring the wisdom of both the pastoral world (including practitioners, mission leaders and church leaders) and the world of those serving the academy together, so that one informs the other with a renewed imagination in facing the impending challenges of societal change.
