ACU Community Groups
Community Groups are small groups of 6-10 members who commit to gathering weekly to encourage one another as we practice the ways of Jesus and love the world around us.
The focus for community groups each fall is Life with Jesus. Community Groups aim to create weekly rhythms of community by gathering a small group of students into close proximity at a time that works best for them. A commitment to one another fuels these meetings. Students are invited to join other students across campus in a shared practice that Jesus modeled while being encouraged in their community. Through this, we believe that leaders and members will discover and engage with the purpose for which Jesus calls us: renewal for us as individuals, deepening relationships for our communities, and bringing life to the world around us.

Define Your Path in Compass
The mission of the ACU Compass Initiative is to empower students to discover, capture, and further engage with university experiences that ready them for Christian service and leadership throughout the world.
This mission is accomplished through two main avenues: 1) the Compass Roadmaps which highlight a menu of opportunities for holistic engagement, often with a curricular focus curated by faculty and staff from that discipline. 2) the Compass app (powered by Suitable) which provides an interactive space for students to discover, reflect on, and articulate their unique story as ACU Wildcats.
The vision of the ACU Compass Initiative is to empower students to understand, leverage, and connect their university experiences to their calling and purpose during and after their time as a student. Build a robust experience on campus and mark your personal journey’s progress through our interactive app.
