Compass Kids is a place where children, from birth to 6th grade, can learn about the neverending love of Christ.

Each Sunday after our intergenerational worship service, kids are dismissed to their age-aligned classes to hear stories of Jesus’s life and how He conquered death.

Our volunteers teach our little ones how to live like Jesus, all while creating a safe and welcoming environment for your child.

We believe that every child, regardless of age or ability, has the capacity to learn of God’s greatness. 

Partnering with families and offering opportunities for fellowship and community are an integral part of building a foundational faith in Christ. We would love to get to know your family better and guide you towards becoming faithful servants of Christ.

Compass Youth exists to create a space where the next generation of 7th-12th graders can find belonging in God’s family, discover their identity in Jesus, and live out their God-given purpose in the world.

Compass Youth meets on Wednesday nights from 5:30-7:30 PM on the second floor of our facility (we call it The Landing!). This is a time for students to share a meal, build friendships, have meaningful conversations about life and faith, and worship together as they connect God’s story to their own.

We believe everyone, regardless of age, is equipped to serve the body of Christ. That’s why you’ll find our teenagers actively serving during our Sunday worship gatherings—running slides, managing the live stream, operating the soundboard, and more.

Compass College is a community for college and college-aged folks looking to build meaningful connections, deepen their faith in Christ, and act on God’s calling for their lives.

We meet every Wednesday night from 8:00-9:30P at Compass Church for our discipleship group. Students come together to share some snacks, have real conversations about life and faith, and explore Scripture in a way that makes God’s story personal and relevant to their everyday lives.

On the first Sunday of each month, we grab lunch together after service to hang out and build community.

Our students are also making an impact on campus by participating in the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) at Arkansas State University. This gathering provides our student-athletes with a space to connect, have gospel conversations, and build lasting friendships with teammates and athletes from other sports. FCA meets every Monday night at 7:45 PM in the football team facility room on campus.

We believe that every college student has the ability to serve the body of Christ. Our college students are actively involved in Sunday worship—reading Scripture, leading in Compass Kids, and using their talents to meet needs our church community.
