Throughout history, faithful men and women have worked out the implications of the gospel, translating it into the culture around them. Compass aims to invest in young adults so that they can become people of character and strategic influencers in the various spheres of society.

"As Christian leaders it is most important that we train the next generation to whom we will pass the baton to be even more effective in impacting the nation than we have been."
Jim Wallace
Managing Director, Australian Christian Lobby

The Compass experience seeks to seamlessly connect the Christian walk through Year 12 to university to graduation and ultimately to a career that will impact the world. Compass Australia has developed a special program for those high achievers.

It involves an 8 day course at the University of Queensland from 18-25 January 2009 and then keeping students connected through special events, seminars and by linking them with appropriate vocational mentors who are well respected and established Christians at the top of their respective professions – politics, law, media, science, education, arts and philosophy.

Due to the targeted nature of this program Compass Australia will only accept nominations from Christian leaders who are in positions of authority (such as principals, teachers, denominational church leaders, para-church ministry leaders, university christian group leaders, university lecturers and chaplains) to handpick the most talented, passionate and committed students to take part in this program.

If you are a Christian leader who is in a position to nominate those students that show great potential to be trained as influential leaders then please think seriously about investing in their future.
