We are delighted to announce that Luke Kaa-Morgan is joining the Carey community.
Luke (Tainui Āwhiro, Ngāti Tahinga, Pākehā) has spent 20 years in pastoral ministry within local Baptist Churches. For over thirty years he has been an active contributor to the Baptist Union’s Tiriti hikoi and a full participant in the national work of Baptist Māori Ministries, Manatū Iriiri Māori.
Luke will guide Carey’s Ministry Training team as it seeks to develop practices of leadership formation that embody the vision of te Tiriti o Waitangi. He will nurture Carey’s community life, foster emerging Maori leaders, and will provide leadership for the College and its Tiriti hikoi as a member of Carey’s Management Team.
Luke is married to Marieta (Samoa). They have three adult children and three mokopuna. Luke will be joining Caleb Haurua, Jordyn Rapana, Manakinui Te Kahu, Denise Tims and Rewai Te Kahu to form a strong cohort of Māori staff at Carey training leaders and resourcing churches to bring gospel renewal throughout Aotearoa.
