We desire to make disciples of young men and women by allowing them a space to encounter God and cultivate a deeper relationship with God.

Our Location

Our Cultivate programmes are hosted at Capernwray Bible School and Conference Center outside of Cambridge in the Central Waikato, New Zealand. 

During our programmes, Students will live in a room with a Counsellor giving them ample time for personal, one-on-one discipleship and accountability. Each dormitory fits on average four people: one Counsellor and three Students. Each morning, Students will have morning devotions with their Counsellor.

Student life

Meals are served promptly in the dining room three times a day where Students will eat meals together with our Staff. Students will share in the responsibility of setting up for and cleaning up after meals.

In between scheduled events, Students are free to enjoy our campus. They can play volleyball, basketball and tennis around the campus grounds as well as enjoy the swimming pool. Students can also play ping-pong or board games in the Student Lounge!

We have a Snack Shack onsite which will be open daily; Students can purchase snacks, drinks and our Cultivate merchandise. This is a great space for Students to hangout and relax with one another!

Each Student will be allocated 1GB free wifi and will be able to purchase additional wifi if needed. Laundry facilities will cost $3 per wash and $3 per dry; outdoor laundry lines are available for use.
