Statement of Faith & Values
Bible: We believe the Bible is the inspired and inerrant word of God. It is a guide and standard for faith, life, and practice (II Tim. 3:16-17).
God: We believe that God is the creator of the Heaven and the Earth and exists in three equal persons: God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit (Deut. 6:4, II Cor. 13:14, John 1:1-3).
Salvation: We believe that all people have sinned (violated God’s laws) and are therefore separated from God, condemned to an eternity in Hell. (Rom. 3:23, Rom. 6:23, Eph. 2:1). However, because of His great love toward us, God offers us salvation through Jesus Christ, who died on the cross to pay the price of our sins (John 3:16-17) and rose again (Rom. 10:9). This salvation is offered as a gift, and it must be accepted by faith in the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ alone, not by any personal works (Eph. 2:8-9, Acts2:21, John 14:6, Acts 4:11-12).
As Christians, we are called…
-
to live for God's glory and conform to His teachings through integrity, honesty, love for others, service, purity, and prayer. (1 Pet. 4:7-11, Prov. 19:1).
-
to fellowship and service (John 13:34-35, Heb. 13:16, Heb. 10:24-25).
-
to strive for excellence in all that we do (1 Cor. 10:31).
-
to show honor and respect toward others through words and actions. (Luke 6:30-36, Rom. 13:7, Phil. 2:3-4, Eph. 4:29, I Thes. 4:4, 7).
-
to teach and disciple our children. (Deut. 6:6-9).
All are Welcome
Compass Community is a Christian organization, striving to honor and glorify God in all that we do.
