OurStory

Building  people Who Become the Church

The story behind, Grace Compass Church is that we a real people on a journey  building people who become the church  that will leave the mark of Christ wherever they are living, working, and ministering. The ultimate purpose our authentic Biblical Community is to be the church in our communities, neighborhoods and sphere of influence. To be the church to us means to be the hands, heart, and feet of Jesus in very real and meaningful ways together in community that is organic and not organizational.  Jesus Answered Life’s greatest questions with two simple profound Faith Goals: Love God with all your heart and love others as yourself. It is our relationship with God and our relationship with others that bring identity, meaning and purpose to our life.

Why A New Church?

Church planting is the single most effective form of evangelism today, and a necessary method for reaching all of North America with the Gospel of Jesus Christ. New churches grow faster than established churches because new churches are focused on reaching the un-churched.  People are also more open to change in new churches and thus excited about trying new and innovative ideas which, in turn, attract other people.  New churches also encourage the raising up of new leaders that may otherwise not readily get or seek leadership opportunities in existing churches. This is an important consideration given that a church’s ability to identify, empower, and equip kingdom-minded leaders largely determines the level of its success.

Driving Values

Values Form the Way and How We Live Life as central part of our life together. Our Driving Values shape our Character, which directly influences and guides how we live together at Grace Compass Church.

Relevance: We will engage today’s culture in its context with significance without selling out or  watering down the Gospel of Grace. We will live our lives out to bring the gospel in visible form to people all around us.

Authentic Relationships: We will pursue being real authentic and honest with one other, so that we can encourage, celebrate, grow, and mourn as a family in relationships that build community.

Compassion: We will love all people like Jesus did and minister to them daily regardless of their age, race, social status or spiritual condition. We will grow together in Incarnate Living which is the out of the life of Jesus by the power of the Spirit to others in their community.

Eternal Truth: We will learn and apply the Living truth of Scripture to all of our life piece by piece, avoiding the temptation to replace its truth for the best ideas of people, or defining its truth based upon our personal experiences or wounded emotions. We will welcome the freedom that comes with questioning things so we can seek God’s answers together without arrogance in God’s revealed will contained in scripture.

Our Mission

Grace Compass Church will be used by God to design, launch, and grow numerous churches through collaboration. Collaboration is the act of united labor to serve our city with the Gospel of Grace.

These churches working in collaboration will be used as a catalyst to launch and reproduce church planters which will impact the entire southeast area of the USA, as well as minister to people groups in many other parts of our world. Grace Compass Church is committed to MULTIPLICATION of disciples and missional servant leaders who will build people who become the church.

America needs God and never before has the climate for evangelism and church planting been riper for America! Three generations influenced by secular humanism have created a spiritual vacuum and over 195 million unchurched people – who are not the enemy! They like ourselves  are on a journey  searching for hope, meaning, security, and significance. Now is the time to plant more and better churches! Historically, church planting is proven to be the most effective form of evangelism.

Our Strategy

The strategy of “Grace Compass Church” will be accomplished by establishing “environments” that will be implemented through the missional community groups of the church. These missional groups will create life which will flow from their desires and passions which God will birth uniquely in each individual of every missional group.
