The Residential Fellowship program is LMI’s premier offering—a 3-month intensive designed to equip current and future leaders with a foundation in theology, history, and political philosophy. The program aims to shape character and develop essential skills, providing participants with a solid grounding to engage thoughtfully with the ideas that influence our public sphere. Fellows are brought together into a close-knit Christian learning community, where they live, work, and grow alongside one another, sharing life and serving each other as they deepen in their faith, understanding and leadership skills.
Spend 3 months in a transformative learning community interacting with leading thinkers and practitioners in public policy and leadership. Each fellowship program includes modules in theological foundations, intellectual history and political philosophy, seminars on public policy and social ethics, as well as practical skills training including public speaking and writing.
FELLOWSHIPA 4-day conference in September. Learn how to Out-purpose, Out-relate, and Out-last the culture with a gospel-centered approach that transforms lives and societies. This event is for those who believe in the power of Jesus’ message to catalyze profound change and want to be equipped as wise Christian leaders with both evangelistic calling and social vision.
KATEGORIAPoliteia is a four-day (long weekend) immersive program run in July designed as both a taster for the full Fellowship and a stand-alone experience for those unable to commit to the longer program. It serves as a starting point for equipping aspiring Christian leaders with the wisdom and insight needed to engage faithfully with today’s cultural and political landscape.
POLITEIAThe Lachlan Macquarie Fellowship was formative in many ways. It shed light on the kind of leader and team player I am while giving me insight into the character attributes I needed to further develop. It gave me the opportunity to expand my network into a pool of like-minded, young Christian professionals – some of which I now count among my lifelong friends. The many things I learnt and took away from the fellowship equipped me to enter the realm of federal politics with confidence and conviction, knowing what I believe and what I will stand up for.”
