Picture a room full of people who understand exactly what it costs - and what it's worth - to lead with faith in business.
Our entire Christian business community celebrated. Giving honour to God for all that He has done through our life and business - Finalists announced. Stories told. A night of worship, connection and celebration that reminds you: you were never doing this alone.
This is the night your work gets to be seen - not by the world's metrics, but by a community that understands the real cost of building with integrity and courageous faith in action.
We exist to amplify what God is already doing in the marketplace - not to manufacture a moment.
PROUDLY SPONSORED BY
The Australian Christian Business Awards exists to shine a light on Christ-centred excellence in the Australian marketplace - recognising the entrepreneurs, leaders, innovators and creatives who are proving that faith and enterprise were never meant to be separate.
We believe business is a platform for purpose. That leadership rooted in integrity changes workplaces, families and communities. And that when Christian business owners are seen, celebrated and connected, the whole community rises with them.
"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." - Matthew 5:16, KJV

Australia's First National Platform of Its Kind
There are business awards. There are Christian communities. There has never - until now - been a national stage that brings the two together with the scale, credibility and heart this movement deserves.
The Australian Christian Business Awards is:
-
National in scope - not a local networking night, but a platform built for every state and every industry.
-
Christ-centred, not just "faith-adjacent" - Kingdom values are the point, not a footnote.
-
A movement, not a moment - through our award categories, our directory and our growing community, ACBA exists year-round, not just on award night.
-
A force for good beyond our own community - every event supports A21, standing against human trafficking, because Kingdom impact doesn't stop at the marketplace.
Let your light shine before others, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven. - Matthew 5:16
If your faith fuels your work, you qualify
The ACBA is open to Christian business owners, entrepreneurs, creatives, corporate leaders, authors, coaches, consultants, ministry-based businesses, and organisations across Australia.
A Flame Like No Other
Each Australian Christian Business Awards trophy is hand-crafted in crystal, individually shaped to catch and hold the light - which means no two are ever the same. Just like no two callings are the same. No two businesses, no two stories, no two ways of shining are the same.
A flame doesn't shine for itself. It burns so the room around it can see. Every recipient becomes a light-bearer - proof, held in crystal, that obedience and excellence in the marketplace are never in vain, and that the fire God lit in them was always meant to be seen.

Real Impact. Real Community
ACBA is a growing ecosystem - the Awards, the Directory and a community of Kingdom-minded entrepreneurs choosing to do business differently. Whether you're nominating someone whose light deserves to be seen, applying to be seen yourself, becoming a sponsor, or simply joining the community as a supporter - there's a place for you here.

Relationship Manager
Salvation Army Australia
What a joy to worship, pray, celebrate and ‘lean in’ alongside men and women of excellence, each living out the calling that God has placed upon their lives, and together bringing light and beauty to the world. I loved the honour and reverence given to God throughout the program, and every person on the platform.
The unity we shared as brothers and sisters was tangible. It was amazing to hear personal stories and revelations of truth, from all who presented and performed. Stunning wisdom shared! The whole evening was truly incredible and a testament to your hearts and passion. I am so grateful to have been in the room!
Andrew Lowry
Business Manager
Covenant Christian School
I loved hearing about the impact of fellow Christians seeking to serve their communities and make a difference in people’s lives. I love the idea of Christians working together to make an impact. It was a very encouraging night.
Krystyna Kidson
Psychologist & Leadership Resilience Coach
Being nominated was such a confidence boost and a beautiful confirmation that not only does my work matter - *I* am seen and valued in it. As a psychologist and theologian running a solo practice, helping leaders and professionals build resilience and live *well* in and for the Kingdom, it can sometimes feel like I’m out on a limb, dealing with all the things, on my own.
The Awards night was a wonderful reminder that we’re part of a wider community of believers, all using their businesses to serve and uplift others. I left encouraged that we’re not alone in this work; and that faithful business can be, and should be, both good for people and glorifying to God.
ALL GLORY BELONGS TO GOD
"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven."
- Matthew 5:16 (KJV)
The Australian Christian Business Awards is only as strong as the partners who stand behind it. Thank you to our Founding Supporters and the organisations who continue to back this movement - your partnership makes every part of this night possible.
