Helping New Churches Start

CompassNational is helping to plant The Garden Church in Chicago, led by Church Planting Pastor Ron Childers.


I believe that God has led me here and called us together as
The Garden Church, Chicago for such a time as this. –Ron Childers
Ron's Testimony Why Chicago? Why You?


Interested in Serving?

Pastor Ron Childers has been prayerfully working to plant The Garden Church in Chicago. Soon, there will be opportunities for us to help. We might need to deep clean spaces that will be used by the church, do general landscaping, painting, light construction, and more. We are also looking for volunteers with expertise in specific areas: legal, marketing, social media, administration.

Other CompassNational Partners may also need help! Sign up below, and we will notify you with volunteer opportunities as they arise.


Intern Program

Each year, CompassNational welcomes a cohort of Interns who serve in multiple areas of The Compass Church across our Campuses. We are investing in future leaders of the Church in the United States, and around the world by offering them ministry experience, mentoring, and leadership skills.
