Sydney
Macquarie Christian Studies Institute (MCSI) is an innovative venture offering units in Christian Studies to students in universities across Australia. Unlike theological colleges, MCSI's main emphasis is on relating Christian faith perspectives to the world beyond the doors of the Church - in particular, the world of work, the professions, modern society, contemporary culture and everyday life. MCSI has a particular interest in equipping Christians to relate their Christian faith to their professional training, so that they develop an integrated and holistic perspective on their chosen vocations. An important aspect of MCSI's vision is also to develop Christian leaders who will have influence and be role models in many areas of our society.

PeaceWise
We believe that being wise in making and maintaining peace is something that more people want for their lives, but often just don’t know how to make this happen. People everywhere in all manner of different situations are confronting conflict and disputes. We believe that the Bible provides real and practical strategies on how we can approach and respond to conflict to turn it into something which can build relationships, rather than only destroy them.

Urban Encounter
Melbourne
David's vision: "God was telling me that He had His people planted strategically in every building. People who lived in the city, others who work in the City, all of them a part of God’s strategy to reach the City and make it more of what He wants it to be. But then I felt God saying that the problem was they didn’t realize how important they were to His strategy. They need to be affirmed and encouraged and helped to see how important they are to God in His work. It was this set of impressions that led to Urban Encounter being planted in the CBD of Melbourne."
