Helping People Follow Jesus

Welcome

At Compass Church of Monterey County, we’re dedicated to helping people follow Jesus and embrace their new life in Him. Through engaging Bible studies for men and women, vibrant youth programs, and impactful community outreach, we seek to connect every individual's story to God's greater narrative. Join us and grow together!

What  We Believe

The Bible is the infallible Word of God, breathed out by His Holy Spirit into written form, and therefore is unique among all books in human history.


No book has been attacked so much yet repeatedly proven true by the science of archeology. (2 Tim 3:16-17 and 2 Pet 1:21)

How do we

help people follow Jesus?

Welcome

  • Our Mission

    Our mission is in Helping People Follow Jesus. 


    We believe that true salvation is found in a personal relationship with Jesus Christ, and our purpose is to guide individuals on that journey. This means we are committed to creating a welcoming environment where people can learn about Jesus, deepen their faith, and become devoted followers of His. 


    Ultimately, we strive to see lives transformed as we help people embrace the path of discipleship and find their home in God's family.

  • Purpose-Driven Fellowship

    Whether you are a seeker who is taking your first steps to finding answers about God and life after death, or a committed Christian who wants meaty teaching and to grow more mature spiritually, you can find a spiritual home at Compass Church.


    We are a purpose-driven fellowship of Christians whose purpose is to change the world through Jesus. 


     The Bible gives a momentous promise:  

    When someone becomes a Christian, they become a brand new person inside. They are not the same anymore. A new life has begun. 2 Corinthians 5:17

  • The Bible And Our Giving

    It's all God's!


    The Earth is the Lord’s and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it. – Psalm 24:1


    God’s Word teaches that everything we have, even our life, is God’s gift. Therefore, we manage our resources by biblical principles. 


    The bible talks about money more than anyother subject. Why? Because we show the condition of our heart by our checkbook. 


  • How To Know Jesus

    The plan of salvation:


    We have found that many people believe in God but have yet to enjoy a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. 


    Becoming a Christian has nothing to do with things like attending church, being a good person, or donating funds to religious groups. Rather, becoming a Christian begins with receiving the Lord Jesus Christ by faith as an act of the will.

  • Worship And Our Church

    At Compass Church, we firmly believe that worship should be a priority in the life of every believer. 


    We see worship not as a Sunday morning event, but as a continuous act of honoring God in all that we do. 


    Our services are designed to be a time of celebration and reflection, where we can come together as a community to express our love and gratitude to God through music, prayer, and the study of His word.


     We strive to create an atmosphere where people can connect with God on a personal level and be encouraged to live a life of worship throughout the week.
