Sunday Mornings at Compass
Compass Classroom exists to equip the body of Christ to reach, teach, and train others to the glory of God.
Compass Classroom classes are additional opportunities for instruction in God’s Word each Sunday, functioning like an “Equipping Hour” or “Adult Sunday School.” They are free to attend, topical in nature, and interactive with the teacher and with table discussions.

A.W. Tozer said, “What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us.” Knowledge of God and His ways are foundational to growing in our walk with Him. We provide classes that study in depth the full breadth of God’s revelation in the Scriptures.

We know from 2 Timothy 3:16-17 that God has spoken, breathing His Word through the authors of Scripture so that we might hear from Him and be equipped to live a mature Christian life. We provide classes that systematically study the biblical books so that everyone will be equipped for every good work.

There are skills that every Christian should master so they will be most useful to the Lord. We provide classes to show us how to practically apply Scripture to the daily areas of life, including topics such as marriage, parenting, financial stewardship, etc.

The church will run at full strength when the body is well-trained in ministry. Ephesians 4:12 explains it is the saints who do “the work of ministry,” and this “builds up” the body of Christ. Our 8th Distinctive is, “We will always be working to plant new churches,” which means we always need to train congregants for biblical Christian leadership.

Whether you are a tradesman, an hourly employee, a contractor, a salaried employee, an executive, a business owner, or an entrepreneur, you are called to glorify God in your work. If you are someone who works at a job, giving the best hours of your day to labor in the workforce, then it’s important for you to apply biblical wisdom to your job so that you can honor the Lord through your work.
