Joseph Kemp, a Baptist preacher and pastor of the Auckland Baptist Tabernacle. In 1972 the Institute was renamed the Bible College of New Zealand. It has since grown to become one of the largest tertiary theological institutions in the South Pacific.In June 2008, BCNZ announced it had acquired MASTERS Institute, a school of education for training primary school teachers.

Reviews
Wonderful environment to deepen your faith, meet variety of people, make good friends, be taught, challenged and inspired by great lecturers. I have done B'couns and Grad Dip Theo, both courses very much recommended.
The new entrance from Central Park Drive is less convenient for pedestrians but I always like the welcome entrance space with the library and the cafe and the reception together. The whole lot will move in a couple of years.
A great supportive community for theological education. Good facilities and committed staff.
A lovely place to study counselling, primary teaching or Christian theology. The people are friendly, the lecturers challenge and encourage you, and the community is fun.
Arrived unannounced to visit my son Allan. Was greeted brightly at reception and was told that Allan would be down shortly.
Awesome college, love studying here, the lecturers are really engaging and fun and the community is amazing !
