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)
Scripture is Infallible.
01
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.
Scripture is Authoritative
02
Because it is the Word of God and not merely human words, it is the supreme and final authority in all matters of faith and behavior (2 Tim 3:16-17).
The Trinity
03
There is only one God, eternal and unchanging, who created the universe out of nothing and who exists in 3 persons — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit — each fully God, yet distinct (Jn 1:1; Gen 1:2; Matt 5:16,45).
04
Jesus
Jesus is God who humbled and emptied Himself to be born of the Virgin Mary, fully God and fully human, to reveal to us fully what God is like. Because Jesus is fully God, to reject Jesus is to reject God (John 1:1-3; Phil 2:4-11).
05
Jesus Died For Our Sin
Jesus lived a sinless life, wholly obedient to the Father’s will, even to the point of dying on the cross for our sins.
06
Jesus is Risen
God validated Jesus’ claims by raising Him bodily from the dead to return to the throne in heaven as the slain Lamb of God, still bearing the marks of the crucifixion. If Jesus is not risen, then there is no life after death and our faith is in vain.(I Cor 15:3-15)
Jesus is Unique
07
Therefore, Jesus is the only Savior; there is no other way of salvation than by Him. If we could be good enough to deserve resurrection from the dead and heaven, then Jesus died for nothing and was sadly mistaken.
Heaven
08
Heaven is a real place and is open to all who are willing to surrender to Jesus as Lord and to depend on his forgiveness. Jesus died to save us, not to condemn us.
The Great Commission
09
Therefore, the purpose of Compass Church is “To save the unsaved.” It is the reason for His coming, and it is His Great Commission to the church.
The Holy Spirit
10
The Holy Spirit is the humble person of the Trinity, who magnifies Jesus, convicts us of sin, and draws people to salvation in Jesus.
11
The Church
Jesus calls the church His Bride, whom He created by His crucifixion, and for whom He will return at the end of time.
Worship
12
We believe we were created for God’s pleasure (Rev 4:11). Worship brings pleasure to God(Ps 147:11).
