Welcome!
In the Bible we read, "Then Jesus called for the children and said to the disciples, 'Let the little children come to me. Don't stop them! For the kingdom of God belongs to such as these." (Luke 18:16). Jesus loved the children. In Children's Ministries at The Compass Church, we value God's children in all ways and love interacting with them.
Our commitment is to teaching your children who God is, that He loves them and how they can be His children for eternity.
As a result, we speak this truth in your child's language, by being fun and creative! During our weekend services, we sing songs about Jesus, learn about the nature and character of God, and apply our knowledge of God's Word, as we see it come alive in our own homes and neighborhoods. And, we have fun with friends and adult leaders. Our kids are safe, cared for, nurtured, loved and treasured as the precious gems that God has made. We hope you know how much we love your kids!
Our Philosophy
- Kid-Focused – Our curriculum is designed to target the everyday issues kids face in their world. We love helping each child connect with God; He loves them deeply. The team designs an interactive morning so exciting that kids are eager to come each week!
- Value-Driven – We emphasize biblical values that help kids develop faith and character. We want to fully develop every child.
- Scripture Driven – We take the words of God and develop it in such a way that kids not only know what it means, but they also know how to apply it to everyday life.
- Creatively Wired – We use innovative tools to deliver a message that’s timeless. The cast utilizes music, drama, and storytelling to capture kids’ interest. We provide meaningful activities that are age-appropriate to help your child grow relationally, physically, cognitively, and spiritually.
- User-Friendly – We work hard to create an atmosphere that is accepting of our kids. We love kids! Each one is a special gift from God. We want to know each child individually. We want all of our children to get to know their adult leaders, and to be known by the people in their small groups.
- Volunteer-Fueled – Our desire is to connect volunteers with their personal strengths, by offering a variety of ways for them to be involved.
- Supporting Parents – We partner with parents, the primary spiritual instructors of children. We are here to support and encourage all that parents do.
