Finally, we will give you papers to follow along with our lesson plans and a folder to keep them in.

Step one is designed to teach you about our DNA, what we believe, our mission/vision, and who we are. Step two is all about you. We will talk about how you are gifted spiritually and where you can serve and volunteer on our REACH Teams.

THERE’S A PLACE FOR YOU!

What We Believe

The Bible:

We believe that the Bible is verbally inspired of the Holy Spirit. (2 Timothy 3:16 and 2 Peter 1:21)

The Trinity:

We believe in triune Godhead: one God existing as three separate and distinct persons. The Father, Son and Holy Spirit are eternally self-existent and function as one entity. (Matt. 3:16, 17; 28:19; John 14:16-17; 26;15:26; 2 Cor. 13:14)

Jesus Christ:

We believe in the virgin birth of Jesus Christ. We believe that He was conceived in the virgin named Mary by the Holy Spirit. Jesus was crucified, buried and resurrected from the dead. He has ascended to heaven and now at the right hand of God as our Intercessor. (Luke 1:26-35; Matthew 1:18-25)

Sin:

We believe that all of us have sinned and come short of God’s glory and therefore, repentance is not only commanded by God but necessary for the forgiveness of our sin. (Mark 1:15, Luke 13:3)

Salvation:

We believe that our justification, regeneration and New Birth are made possible through our faith in Jesus’ blood. (Roman 5:1; Titus 3:5; 1 Peter 1:23)

Holiness:

We believe that Sanctification is scriptural and that it is brought about through faith in Christ’s blood,through the washing of God’s Word and through the ministry of the Holy Spirit. Holiness results through a daily process of commitment. (Romans 5:2; 1 Corinthians 1:30)

The Holy Spirit:

We believe in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, with the evidence of speaking in tongues as the Spirit gives utterance. (Acts 2:44; 10:44-46)

Spiritual Gifts:

We believe in Spiritual gifts and that they should be operative In the church. (1 Corinthians 12:1, 7, 10, 28, 31; 14:1)

Water Baptism:

We believe in water baptism by immersion as a testimony of our Conversion. We should be baptized in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit as Jesus said. (Matthew 28:19, Mark 1:9)

Healing:

We believe that divine healing is provided for us in the atonement. (Matthew 8:17; James 5:14-16)

Communion:

We believe in The Lord’s Supper as a reminder of Christ’s sacrifice. (Luke 22:17-20; 1 Corinthians 11:23-26)

Return of Jesus:

We believe in the pre-millennial second coming of Christ. Jesus will first resurrect the righteous dead and catch the saints away and then He will reign on the earth for a thousand years. (1 Corinthians 15:52; 1. Thessalonians 4:15-17; Jude 14,15; Revelation 5:10)

Judgement:

We believe that eternal life in heaven awaits the Saints and that eternal punishment awaits the wicked who have rejected Jesus Christ. (Matthews 25:46; Luke 18:30)

Marriage:

We believe in the sanctity of marriage as established by the Bible. That God created marriage, and that the only legitimate marriage is the joining of one man and one woman. (Genesis 2:24; Ephesians 5:22-33; 1 Corinthians 7:10-16).

Mission Statement

We are “striving for the radical reflection of God’s love!”

In Jesus’ teaching of the “Good Samaritan”, He reveals to us that Christianity is a personal relationship with Christ in which we Catch, as a mirror does, God’s love for humankind and then reflect it back into the World. Compassion Church strives to know God intimately and to make Him known to others in a relational way.

The Multi-Dimensional purpose of our church is discovered in the book of

Acts 2:42-47. This is how we have based our ministry at Compassion Church.

» Worship through which we grow stronger.
» Ministry through which we grow broader.
» Discipleship through which we grow deeper.
» Evangelism through which we grow larger.
» Fellowship through which we grow closer.

PURPOSE

One by one, we seek to reach individuals through our relationships with each other. No matter who you are or what you have been through in your life, we want you to know that when you walk through the door of our church, you are loved and accepted.

Compassion Church exists to become a voice and a family that crosses every generational, racial, and socio-economic barrier by ministering the Gospel in a clear and effective way, and by seeing people restored from all walks of life. This is all done by the anointing of the Holy Spirit.

TRAVIS & NOELLE MILLS

LEAD PASTOR

Pastor Travis was born in Knoxville, TN and raised mostly in Jefferson County where he went to school and graduated. While in school at Jefferson County High, he was involved with FCA and teaching at church after getting saved at the age of 15 and filled with the baptism of the Holy Ghost at 16. He then went to Tennessee College of Applied Technology, where he graduated with a diploma in Graphic Arts and Photography. Two years later he met the love of his entire life, Noelle. Noelle was born and raised in Morristown, TN and graduated from Morristown East High School. They married in May of 2011. Shortly after, Travis heard the strong, irrefutable call of God to not only teach and be a youth leader but to preach the hope and power of Jesus Christ. He began to preach at every opportunity and share the Gospel and power of the Holy Spirit. After serving Word of Life Church of God and Compassion Church as a youth pastor for a total of six years, he was then called to the role of Lead Pastor of Compassion Church. Pastor Travis has a sincere passion and burden to reach the lost and to encourage and empower Christians through an active relationship with God, faith, and the Word of God.

Bring all the tithes into the storehouse,
