TO KNOW JESUS AND MAKE HIM KNOWN

WHO WE ARE

Compass Students is the student ministry of Compass Church in Goodyear, AZ, for students in grades 6-12.

OUR MISSION

We exist to help middle and high school students find their way to God.

OUR VISION

To see students know Jesus and make Him known. More specifically, we want to see every student in the West Valley hear the Gospel from a friend.

OUR VALUES

In all that we do at Compass Students we want the life-transformational message of Jesus Christ shared in word and action. The gospel (good news) of Jesus Christ is not just the ABCs of Christianity, it is the A-Z. We believe in the power of the gospel to save us and transform our lives.
The good news of Jesus Christ is too good to keep to ourselves! Motivated by a love for God and for our friends, we strive to see the 26,000+ teenagers in the West Valley to hear the gospel from a friend.
Jesus said follow me AND I will make you a fisher of men. We want to help students take a first or next step towards following Jesus AND to take a step towards helping their friends know Jesus. We aim to do this by equipping and empowering students to move from consumers to disciple makers. We believe that the best way to get a student to grow is to get them to go.
We want to be relational in all that we do at Compass Students because we know through belonging in Christ and in His church family we can become who we were created to be.
