Graduate

Impact

Equipping young Christian professionals to be ambassadors for Christ in their workplaces, professions and societies.

Why Graduates?

Research and experience shows that there is an alarming fall-away from faith amongst young Christian adults in their mid-twenties. The transition into working life is one of the most vulnerable times of change, isolation, competing priorities and new perspectives.

We help young Christian adults through the transition from student-life to working-life by helping them see how Jesus’ Lordship affects who they are at work. We hope to inspire:

Individual Flourishing as people learn to see how Jesus changes everything and gives us purpose in work;

Christ-like Influence as people learn to share the love, compassion, integrity, generosity and hope of the Gospel with their colleagues;

Deep Impact as Christians grow into places of profound influence within their workplaces, professions and societies.

Our Distinctives

We conducted in-depth research amongst 350 young professionals from 27 different countries. Our research spanned 3 years and gives a clear insight into the needs of young Christian professionals. Specifically it shows that they are looking for:

  1. Deep Bible teaching that makes sense of the world

  2. A framework for applying the Bible to everyday working life

  3. A supportive community

  4. Time, allowing a process of change
