First, we want to welcome you! We believe that your college years are some of the most formative years of your life, and we also believe they provide one of the best opportunities to grow as followers of Jesus. It is because of the multitude of opportunities available to you at ACU that we are launching Compass. Compass is your roadmap to holistic formation (learn more here). Compass integrates academics, experiential learning, career preparedness, and much more to prepare you to be Christian servants and leaders throughout the world. And at the heart of your development is pursuing the way of Jesus through spiritual formation.

Christian spiritual formation takes many forms and is expressed in a variety of ways. That is why it is our commitment that students at ACU have access to opportunities to participate in Christian spiritual growth through a variety of expressions while at the same time holding onto a shared vision and purpose.

Since our first chapel gathering on Sept. 11th 1906, students, faculty, and staff have imagined and reimagined ways of gathering in bodies of faith for our collective spiritual formation. Our hope is that within each of these expressions, students can find a commitment to proximity, participation, and purpose. These three values, which are explained in the Spiritual Formation Module, help us focus on our vision of spiritual formation for ACU’s campus.

Second, this site is your "one stop shop" for all things Compass and Spiritual Formation related that you may need or want to know. We know how overwhelming the college experience can be and we want to make it just a little bit less complicated in the simplest way. Because of that, below are links to modules that provide more details about Compass, Spiritual Formation, and Suitable (the technology that supports Compass and Spiritual Formation).

We hope you are well informed and if you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact us. For questions about the user experience of the Compass app powered by Suitable, email compass@acu.edu or stop by the Center for Careers and Experiential Learning in Library. For questions specifically about spiritual formation, email chapel@acu.edu or stop by to see us in the basement of campus center in suite 42!
