What We Believe


coreCross Cultural
The Compass is committed whole-heartedly to the biblical pattern, a mandate of cross-cultural, multi-ethnic ministry. We teach that churches will have cross-cultural ministries if they develop healthy Attitudes toward diverse worship and ministry styles, work hard at Building intentional cross-cultural relationships, and seek out Cross-cultural leadership (the ABC’s of cross-cultural ministry).

 

Outreach
Our purpose is to carry out the Great Commission and change our world. This is a two-fold task, both internal and external. It involves what the church does when we are gathered together for worship and teaching and mutual ministry, and what the church does when we are scattered out in the community for evangelism and righteous living. We believe that God gave His Church a great variety of ways to influence culture, business, government, education, and so on, and that He expects His Church to be salt and light throughout the community.

 

Model The New Testament Church
The New Testament presents a mandate for churches to follow. We want to be a model of that church, not out of pride, but out of obedience.

 

Prayer Is The Key To Everything
In all things we Pray Until Something Happens. We P.U.S.H. our programs, our Worship, our goals, our pains and our joys. Nothing will be done unless it is surrounded by prayer.

 

All Members Are Ministers
The church is not a collection of people to whom paid clergy minister. The church is a called-out collection of ministers who are doing God’s work in their homes, on their jobs and in the community.

 

Scripture Is Taught For Transformation
We are a church and people of the Word of God. If God’s Word says it, that settles it! The teaching and preaching of God’s Word is the lifeblood of the Church, and is the channel that the Holy Spirit uses to do His work in our hearts, transforming us into the people He uses to bring change in the world.

 

Service Is Expected
Every person will be challenged to find their gifts and find a place to use those gifts in service.
