College Age

What is Compass?

Compass is what we call our college/university-age ministry here at First Baptist Church. Our Compass ministry was designed with the purpose of helping to strengthen and assist college age students in the crucial years after high school.

Why Compass?

We like the symbolism and what the compass can represent in our lives. First, a compass assists us in knowing what direction we are going. Second, we have taken points of the compass and adapted them to form the foundation of our ministry. Using the four points of the compass, we are adapting North, South, East and West into these characteristics: Nurturing, Encouraging, Scripture and Witnessing. These are our focal points that direct our ministry to college age students.

What happens with Compass?

Bible Study and group time take place every Sunday morning at 9:15 am in the lobby of the Family Life Center. We start with an informal social time and then study God’s Word through lessons or by video. Some recent subjects have been Recognizing Potential Mates, Jesus Among Other Gods, A Case For Christ, sharing your faith with others and the Book of James.
 
Compass ministry events include praise and worship nights, movie nights, minor league baseball games and other activities that provide time together while helping build community among our college age students.
