We are passionate about helping people from all walks of life grow closer to the Lord and each other and we are doing our part to make our community a better place.

Planning to Visit?
We’re honored you would consider visiting us! Here are some details to get you started:
What to do when you pull in on Sunday morning
Be on the lookout for a friendly Compassion Church volunteer in an orange safety vest. Be sure to let them know that you are visiting and they’ll direct you to a parking space reserved for you. Head to the main entrance of the worship center or, if you have kids, proceed to the CompassionKids building. At either entrance, you’ll be greeted by a friendly volunteer who can help get you settled.
What does the worship service look like?
A worship service consists of 3-4 worship songs followed by a message. Our worship team plays many of the worship songs you might hear on contemporary Christian radio mixed with a few hymns. Typically a service is about 1.5 hours long.
Kids Programming
- Nursery: Each Sunday morning service we have a fully staffed nursery to care for you children from birth to pre-k. All nursery caregivers must complete NazSafe training and complete a background check.
- Compassion Kids: If you have children from pre-k to 5th grade we have kids programming available. The Compassion Kids building, connected to the main worship center, is home to our kids programming.
What is a Nazarene church?
The Church of the Nazarene is the largest denomination in the classical Wesleyan-Holiness tradition. The doctrine that the Church of the Nazarene and other Wesleyan denominations is known for is that of entire sanctification. Nazarenes believe that God calls Christians to a life of holy living that is marked by an act of God, cleansing the heart from original sin and filling the individual with love for God and humankind.
