Compassion Kids
We’ve created a safe, fun, and engaging environment where kids (birth–5th grade) can discover who Jesus is in a way that makes sense to them. Every service is packed with energy, creativity, and care—because we believe faith starts young and grows with love.

Programming is available on-site.

Compassion Students
Middle and high school can be tough. That’s why we’ve built a community where students (6th–12th grade) can be real, ask questions, and find belonging. Weekly meetups are full of connection, worship, and conversations that actually matter.

What to Expect
Walking into something new can be a lot. That’s why we keep it relaxed, welcoming, and honest. Come curious, come casual, come as you are.
WHAT ARE SERVICES LIKE?
Our services include live music with modern Christian songs—lyrics are on the screen if you'd like to sing along, or just tap your toe and take it all in. We also spend time in prayer, share communion, and hear a practical, meaningful message from our pastors. The message is broadcast from our Henderson location, so each Compassion location experiences the same impactful teaching each week.
WHAT DO I WEAR?
Whether you're comfortable in casual clothes or prefer your Sunday best, you'll fit right in. There’s no dress code required. The goal is for you to feel relaxed and focused on what matters most.
WHERE DO I PARK?
We’ve got plenty of parking! When you arrive, our team will be there to guide you to the best spots. If you need assistance, just look for one of our friendly volunteers—they’ll help you find your way.
WHAT ABOUT MY KIDS?
We offer engaging, age-appropriate programs for kids so they can learn and grow in a safe, fun environment. Whether they’re newborns or in elementary school, they’ll have a blast and be well cared for during the service.
Get Connected
Building real relationships is at the heart of what we do. Whether you're looking to make new friends, join a group, or serve our community, getting connected is the best way to experience the full life God has for you.
