ONE CHURCH, TWO LOCATIONS
We are a church in Arizona that follows Jesus Christ. We do this by Loving God, Loving People, and Sharing Jesus with our community locally and around the world.
OUR MISSION
Leading people to find and follow Jesus!
OUR VISION
Multiplying disciples in relational environments.
God
There is one God existing eternally in three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. He is the Creator of all things. He knows everything and is everywhere present. He is just, loving, and full of grace. He can be sufficiently known only through Jesus Christ.
Jesus
Jesus is fully human and fully divine existing eternally, fully equal with the Father. He was begotten of the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He has proven Himself to be the Son of God by His deeds, fulfillment of prophecy, crucifixion, and bodily resurrection.
The Bible
The Old and New Testament Scriptures are inspired by God and are without error in their original manuscripts. They contain a complete revelation of His will for the salvation of mankind, and constitute the divine and only rule of faith and practice.
Salvation
Salvation is the gracious gift of God, given to those who through faith believe in Jesus Christ as God’s Son and our Savior, repent of their sins, confess Jesus as Lord, are baptized by immersion, and continually make Jesus the Lord of their lives. Those who follow this biblical plan can have assurance of salvation.
The Church
Compass Christian Church (formerly Chandler Christian Church) is a non-denominational fellowship of believers who have no creed but Christ, no book but the Bible, and wear no name but Christian. We believe that Christ is the Head of His Church, and therefore every Christian is a part of His body. We do not believe that we are the only Christians, but earnestly strive to be Christians only. We seek to speak where the Bible speaks, and remain silent where the Bible is silent. We take the Bible, and the Bible alone, as our only rule of faith and practice. The original Church that we read about in the Bible was a church where salvation made you a member, so Compass Christian Church follows that pattern. We refuse to impose upon people more than the Word of God asks a Christian to be, nor require less than the Word states. Therefore, membership here requires that one accept the gracious gift of salvation by faith, which is belief in Jesus as the Son of God, repenting of sin, confessing Jesus as Lord, and being baptized by immersion. To make sure that these principal teachings are understood, we have found it beneficial for anyone choosing to be a part of Compass Christian Church to complete our class called The Exploration.
The Christian Life
The Christian life by its very nature is to be distinct from the world. Because of this, each believer is set apart (sanctified) by God for His purposes. The process of sanctification is carried out through prayer, reading the Bible, witnessing, and fellowship. Each believer has been given a spiritual gift or gifts to be used in serving others.
