Welcome to Capernwray New Zealand
There is nothing more important or more incredible than experiencing intimacy with our Saviour, Jesus! Come and experience his goodness as essential to every aspect of your life as you grow in understanding the Bible.
Why Capernwray New Zealand?
Capernwray New Zealand is unique. But, untouched landscapes and adventures through the wilderness are not the only things that make us special. It’s the life and love of Jesus, seeped into everything we do, that makes the difference. We want students to come and experience the presence of Christ in this world and within themselves. There is no greater journey than that of discovering Him.

Bible School
Draw nearer. Dive deep. Seek Him.
As we study God’s Word, we encounter the Lord Jesus. Our Bible School program encourages and equips students to pursue a deeper understanding of the Scriptures with the aim of encountering the Living Word in our Lord Jesus.. The goal is not just to gain knowledge, but to draw near to God Himself, for the sole purpose of that intimacy. If you are searching for what this means, come join us for a Bible School course.
Events
There’s never a dull moment here at Capernwray New Zealand!
A variety of conferences, camps and retreats throughout the year provides something for everyone, all with the aim of sharing the joy and hope we have in Christ. Our facilities offer space for a gentle stroll in the gardens, a lively game of tennis or a dip in the pool, as well as onsite dining/catering and accommodation.
New Zealand
New Zealand is a place like no other.
Home of Middle Earth and the land of the long white cloud, New Zealand is a place with everything to offer and no wildlife to fear. From the inner city to long, sandy beaches and untouched bush, it’s a small country with a big personality. What an amazing place for students to study and live.
Student Life
There’s nothing like life in community to teach you about yourself and about Christ. Students from all around the world have the opportunity here to experience the ups and downs of life together. In the process, as iron sharpens iron, they discover insightful challenges and beautiful connections.
"My experience at Capernwray New Zealand was nothing short of life-changing... life with Jesus became real to me. I finally learned to place my identity in Christ alone and to rest in His unfailing love, because of who He is and not anything I can do ."
