Near the end of 2021, the leaders of Compass made a difficult yet courageous decision to close their church. Rather than trying to revitalize what they had been, they prayerfully moved toward a fresh future by committing themselves and their resources to starting a new church that would reach people with the good news of Jesus Christ.

With help from partner churches East Park (Vancouver) and Mosaic (Portland), and support from the Alliance Northwest, a core group of around 35 people continued coming together for prayer and worship. In spring of 2023, God provided a church planter to lead the fresh start effort.

Heading into summer 2023, we are taking time to prayerfully discover the shape God wants our future church to take. We are growing into a community that reflects the light and love of Jesus to those around us, by devoting ourselves to simple practices found in the Bible like prayer, fellowship, and serving. If you’d like to see who we’re becoming, or want to help us become who we’re becoming, we’d love to hear from you! Email info@compassv.org to find out more.
