OUR SHARED GENEROSITY JOURNEY

More than 70 years ago, a small group of believers with bold faith gathered together, were willing to GO take God-honoring risks and thus The Compass Church was born. 



In the years since, we’ve continued to trust Him as He moves our hearts towards Helping People Find & Follow God. 



We believe God continues moving us as a church—perhaps now more than ever! We believe He is moving us all together to unleash our current campuses and ministries, moving us forward and outward to bring the good news of Jesus to people across our communities and the world.




This is an exciting season in our church as we accept God’s invitation to partner with Him in a way we’ve never done before. We pray that He will move in and through each person who calls Compass home, growing us in our discipleship journey of generosity while ultimately increasing His Kingdom.

TRAIL NOTE FROM OUR SENIOR PASTOR


Compass Church Family,


God has an amazing journey for us to take together! It’s time to embark on a discipleship and generosity initiative called Let’s Go. In the weeks ahead, God is going to expand our love for Him and His cause. Lord willing, we will see a movement of heroic generosity that will yield the transformation of thousands for decades to come!


Generosity has been a hallmark of The Compass Church for the entirety of our 73 year journey. The first groundswell of generosity brought about our Wheaton Campus facility back in 1954. After serving us for over seven decades, it’s time to transform our worn-out mother campus into an eye-popping facility that will be used to reach future generations for Christ.

In addition to the Wheaton construction, the generosity from the Let’s Go initiative will fund two years of record setting ministry across all six of our Campuses. By God’s grace, we believe this adventure will yield world-changing impact Here, Near and Far. 


“By faith Abraham obeyed God’s call to GO” Hebrews 11:8 (NLT)

Together we will learn that Abraham packed up and hit the road when God called him to leave his comfort zone and embark on an adventure of unprecedented significance. Our church leadership has discerned that God is calling us on a faith-stretching journey as well. As we have throughout or church’s history, let’s respond to the Lord’s call in faith and cry, “Let’s Go!”
I love following Christ with all of you!

100%

Engagement

We invite and challenge everyone who calls The Compass Church home to embark on a deeply personal journey of generosity, seeking to live out…

2 Corinthians 8:7: “See to it - that you excel in this grace of giving."

Our greatest desire is for 100% of our church family to experience a life-changing encounter with God through this Let’s Go generosity journey. This season will be marked by:

  • Biblical teaching that inspires and challenges us
  • Intentional prayer that aligns our hearts with God’s heart
  • Personal Bible study that deepens our faith
  • Shared stories of God’s faithfulness moving among us

As we step forward together, we believe God will transform lives, expand our faith and draw us closer to Him.
