After being raised in a small Bible church in Elmhurst, and then attending a large church for a…read morebunch of years, I felt lost and disconnected. I wasn't growing, and that's not a good place to be spiritually. I needed to get back to a smaller congregation and connected with others. Attending Compass feels like "home." They have a few other campuses, but this review is of their Wheaton campus. PASTOR/TEACHING: First off, Pastor Jeff Griffin is the BEST pastor I've ever had. Hands down. He's funny, and passionate and often uses props to help illustrate what he's teaching. He is also unassuming, humble and joyful. He doesn't wear a fancy suit and shoes, making you feel you're at a fashion show rather than church! He is just like you and me. He tells of his shortcomings and struggles as a Christian and so you can relate to him. Pastor Jeff also puts scripture verses up on the screens, and then breaks them down into chunks to really study the meaning. This is how I learn best - and I learn something EVERY single week at this church. Compass took over the old Wheaton Evangelical Free Church, and is still non-denominational, evangelical-free church with Biblically sound teaching. It's been updated a bit and feels a little more contemporary than the old church. But just as warm. I'm growing a lot at Compass, and so many of the sermons are very timely in my life right now - I know I am there for a reason. MINISTRIES/ACTIVITIES: They have a wonderful children's program, adult ministries, fun extra activities, a great worship (Nate is awesome!!! He needs to make an album! I also want to set him up with my sister lol), and some very kind, non-judgmental people in administration. They are truly a great representation of Christ. THEY CARE: One thing I have to share is how considerate this church is. I had written on a prayer card that I was having surgery, and after surgery they had "get well" flowers delivered to my home. I'd received nothing from good friends (cards, phone calls, etc.), but I did from my new church. Not long after that, my mother passed away. I briefly mentioned it an e-mail response to a woman who works at Compass. A few days later, I received a beautiful plant with flowers! These sentiments meant SO much to me. The trials I've been going through have been rough, and knowing the church is there for me if I need them means great deal. NIT: Just one tiny nit - and I'm really not complaining. I wish they had a consistent women's Bible study in the evenings. I get home from work at 6pm, and so it would be great to have a 6:30 study that met consistently throughout the year. I have a hard time connecting with other women otherwise. I know they have small groups for couples, and my husband and I are looking to join one. I need to connect more here and hoping to do so soon!
