Our Auckland campus is located in Henderson, West Auckland, close to the Waitākere Ranges and the west coast beaches. As Laidlaw College’s largest campus, Henderson provides purpose-built facilities designed to support Theology, Counselling, and higher education study in a collaborative and relational environment.
The campus features custom-designed learning studios, well-equipped teaching spaces, and an extensive library with a wide range of academic resources. It is approximately a 20-minute drive from Auckland’s city centre via the motorway and is conveniently located beside Henderson train station, major bus routes, and WestCity Mall.
Around 500 students study at the Henderson campus each year. Our community is diverse and welcoming, bringing together students and staff from different church denominations, cultures, countries, and life experiences.
A distinctive feature of the Auckland campus is the Story of the Bible visual campus narrative — a series of large-scale illustrations and designs that guide viewers through key moments in the biblical story and Laidlaw’s own journey.
You can explore the exhibition online at storyofthebible.nz or experience it during a campus visit or self-guided tour.
