Choose compassion and put smiles on the faces of a family in need this holiday season.

We’ll pair you with a family and provide information about the children so you can buy appropriate Christmas gifts. You’ll then have the opportunity to meet them before Christmas...

Our daughter, Kiley, was baptized in June, 2012, for her fifth birthday, just after we had started attending Compassion Christian Church. In the past year and a half, we have seen her relationship with God grow so much. Through the things she was learning in Elevate, reading her devotionals and talking with us at night, God began to show her some really awesome things.<...

"My boys have been earning things for good behavior. Last week my youngest son, Jayden (7), asked me if he could earn a new pair of roller blades for our neighbor, a little girl. That melted my heart just to hear him ask. This past weekend he reminded me that we needed to go pick out the roller blades. Our...

The kids in our East Campus Elevate ministry recently chose compassion when they donated their gently used books and also made bookmarks to give to the children at Havin Elementary. Susan Allen, who serves in Elevate and is a teacher at Havin, went through more than 200 books that were donated. She then let each of her 1st grade students choose three books to take home.

How did this act of compassion make a difference?...

Sometimes when we choose compassion, we discover opportunities for ministry that we never knew existed, and we can’t wait to find out more.

One of the benefits of showing compassion to others is that we get a brand-new look at ourselves. That’s what happened to Heather Wingate, administrative assistant/operations coordinator for Early Childhood ministry, when she reluctantly agreed to visit Celebrate Recovery, a ministry that helps people overcome hurts, habits and hang-ups.

She did so as part of a Choose Compassion challenge the church staff took on. Compassion Christian is asking members to “Choose...

Does choosing compassion make a difference?

It did for high school student Damion Spivey. He was obedient to God’s call. He took one small step, and God opened his heart to love people in ways he never expected.
