Every single person that walks through our doors is unique to us. People come from different walks of life, speak different languages, and have different needs—but all are just as valuable. To help make your first visit as enjoyable as it can be, we’ve laid out some information below. We can’t wait to meet you!

Group Nights provide an opportunity for you to connect quickly with others in Effingham in large and small group settings.

Meets weekly on Tuesdays at 6:30 - 8PM

The smallest of the bunch are no less mighty than our older generations! Regardless of age, we believe kids can experience Jesus on their level too!

Upon arrival, sign in at the Kids Welcome Desk where you'll receive a parent tag that you can use to pick up your kids after service. Your kids will have a blast learning about Jesus at their level, and in age-appropriate rooms. If you’re new, please arrive at least 30 minutes early so we can provide the best placement for your kids.

If you are new and would like to save time, fill out our Pre-Registration form by here.

We know how important it is for today's younger generation to feel a sense of belonging and community at church. As you arrive, your student is welcomed into a time of fun worship, intentional teaching, and a community of students waiting to make lifelong friendships!

A space for College Students and Young Adults to find meaningful connections with the intention of drawing us closer to God, God’s purpose in our lives, and each other.

What makes a house feel like home? A home is a place where you are needed and known. We invite you to join us for Growth Track and discover your next step to making Compassion home. During the weekly four-session experience, you will be encouraged and empowered to be with Jesus, become like Jesus, and do the things Jesus would do.

We believe that no one, no matter what challenge they may face, should ever be limited from experiencing the gospel; we’ve got you covered.

Upon arriving, look for the Kids Welcome Desk, and a volunteer will help check you in. As you get checked in, we'll get to know your family better as we gather your information, and walk you to our special needs room to help your loved one get settled in.

We understand extra patience can be required to adjust to a new environment, so please plan to arrive at least 15 minutes early to allow enough time to register and adapt to the room.
