    At my first visit to this church, I was welcomed by at least four people who introduced themselves…read moreand went out of their way to welcome me. It's a very friendly and inclusive church, with a real sense of community. They do a lot of outreach to the community, and make sure that there is a place for everyone. They even have a service for people with special needs and a Spanish-speaking service too. There are a couple hundred people in a typical Sunday service, and it is a little more deconstructed than the other campuses of The Compass Church, which gives it more of an intimate church family feel. Jesus is definitely there, and you can see that the people there love Him. The sermons are typically broadcast from the main Hobson campus and shown on the screen to this Bolingbrook campus, which is a setup that is a little different for some people, but works really well for some people. I prefer live in-person preaching, which is why I gave it four stars instead of five. But, some people really like the video style for the sermon, and the quality of the sermons shown is definitely great! If you are looking for a welcoming church to belong to that you can get involved with and that reaches out to the community around it, this is a great one to check out!

Our vision is to become a community of life transformation taking the hope of the gospel here, near and far. We have both English (9a) and Spanish language (10:45a) services at this location. You can also join us online on Sundays at live.thecompass.net at 9, 10, & 11a! We'd love to see you in-person or online!

    Beautiful church! We have been going for over 2 years and call this our home church…read more The TLM (Latin) at 4:30 on Sundays is amazing.

    During Communion at Saints Peter and Paul Catholic Church, my daughter approached the priest, bowed…read moreand had one hand on top of the other to receive the Eucharist. Instead of offering guidance, he repeatedly told her to "do it properly," but never explained what he wanted her to change. He then began questioning her religion, asking whether she was Catholic or Christian. After she responded that she is Catholic, he said, "then do it properly" she was unsure what he wanted her to do differently, then he said again, "Are you sure you're Catholic?" Again she replied yes, I am Catholic. Shortly before this interaction, the priest had taken the Eucharist away from a young man who had said he was Christian. The priest began scolding him while the young man respectfully was nodding that he understood. The situation was uncomfortable to witness and felt unnecessarily harsh. It seemed like a missed opportunity for a compassionate conversation about the Catholic faith, especially since the young man was attending Mass and clearly showing interest. Although my daughter ultimately received Communion, the interaction was prolonged and uncomfortable. She was not given clear instruction only public questioning about her faith. My daughter approached respectfully and reverently. Being questioned in that way, in front of others, left her embarrassed and shaken. She was crying when we got home, which was especially heartbreaking because she was the one who had asked to go to Mass that day. Reverence for the Eucharist is important. However pastoral guidance should reflect clarity, dignity, and compassion. Interactions like this can leave a lasting impression on young people who are trying to grow in their faith. I hope this feedback encourages more compassionate and thoughtful handling of similar situations in the future.

    I visited this church last weekend and left with so many questions about what they're really up to,…read moreit's unsettling. The moment I entered the compound from the parking lot, I was welcomed by a gentleman wearing an earpiece and directed into the auditorium-style "worship space." Inside, more aggressively cheerful greetings by various folks, including more earpiece-wearers (one of whom carried a visible gun on his waistband and never strayed too far from the side of the pastor who led the day with a Jim Jones-level of dynamic magnetism). When I asked about what kind of church I'd stepped into, the answer was consistently "Christian." This sect is a one of a kind - not affiliated with a larger group like Baptists or Catholics (whose formal worship style and centuries of tradition "pastor Matthew" took a few swipes at during his video-and-light-show-supported talk). The 70 minute "experience we shared together" was extremely well produced and market researched. Showy sets and lights, a soft-rock band playing inoffensive clap-along-and-raise-your-hands songs, and constant stimulation by TV screens showing social-media-ready clips of cheerful, diverse people robotically encouraging you to "get connected" (including via a class that's ominously called "First Steps with Matthew" ... have you learned nothing from the sex scandals of the Catholic Church he mocks)? The diversity is limited to the treacle-filled videos, though. Aside from the single African American woman they put front and center on "the platform" as part of the "praise team," the assembled flock of about three hundred was the white bread, middle-aged type you'd expect at a suburban chamber of commerce meeting. Apparently women have recently been given permission to do some heavily scripted speaking roles in the service, but gays, Democrats, or college educated folks aren't really welcomed here unless they answer pastor Matthew's final end-of-service call to turn away from their sinful lives to join him. Cutting through the (really impressively produced) spectacle, the message of the day was a pretty kindergarden level of Christianity. You sin, but God loves you anyway. A lot. And so does pastor Matthew. Get connected with him and his people. And give money. A lot. That smoke machine isn't cheap, you know.

    I was randomly talking to an older woman at Petco and she recommended this church and I have only…read morebeen once since the recommendation but I loved the atmosphere. I would also like to respond to the negative review- I grew up Catholic and even lived in a convent! This is in no way shape or form a Catholic church. My grandfather's family is from North Carolina and they are Baptist - this church is in no way Baptist. From the way the negative review was written it seemed this woman came to church for the sole purpose of causing problems. This is an incredibly popular past time for the recently unemployed bachelor's degree holders with useless majors- or maybe not so useless since these people are pushed in the media. I personally loved the friendly greeters in the parking lot, why the emphasis on the earpieces? And the comparison to Jim Jones shows a complete lack of knowledge of history and cults. I read that this woman is a pro-choicer. This is similar to the gay couples who target Christian bakeries and force them to go bankrupt by taking them to court for not making a gay wedding cake. These people seek out trouble. It is their adrenaline rush. The youth is very lost, which is why we need amazing churches like this to bring the youth back. There are plenty of places that these ignorant (I mean this in the dictionary sense- lack of knowledge) woman could go but she targets the church especially this one because of the kindness of the people. Please let this make us stronger in our faith- we must protect our children for they are being led astray. I honestly do not agree with people protesting at abortion clinics, let those people be, and all the same those people need to either come to church and find Jesus or stop coming to church to be their own preacher of "social justice" (I mean this in the most sarcastic way because killing babies isnt social justice). But this is proof we need to continue the good work of GOD!
