What compassion is all about

founded in 1964

Our story

If God could take a little brick building on Tibet Ave in 1964, and make it into what Compassion Christian Church is today—what could He do through you?

Over the years, we've seen an expansion that covers seven campuses, a multi-racial, multi-generational congregation, and a church that has made it its mission to lead people to Jesus not just here in the low country, but all across the world.

Marcus Johnson

Our Lead Pastor

Marcus studied Philosophy at the University of Georgia and holds a Masters of Biblical
Exposition from Liberty University. He and his wife, Lauren, have been a part of the Compassion
family for over 25 years. They have three beautiful children. Their family is looking forward to
this new opportunity to serve God and His church!

We stand on scripture

Our beliefs

Our mission is to lead people to a life-changing relationship with Jesus, and we strongly believe that we cannot do that unless we stand on scriptural truth. For our statement of beliefs, click the button below.

Our team

Behind the scenes of our church, there's a group of people working to make Compassion a place where you'll always feel the love of Jesus. This is your Compassion family.

A team of game changers

Compassion Careers

Every Compassion staff position is more than a to-do list, a desk, and a paycheck. We believe each role not only contributes to growing God's church, but it also impacts the lives of the person in the role for the better.
