COMPASS HOUSE
Compass Church has purchased a home to use as transitional housing for one family at a time. The family will be enrolled in Love INC’s Extra Mile money management program and will have the opportunity for occupancy for four to six months. During this time they will receive individual coaching from Love INC to set goals, establish stability and save resources needed to move into permanent housing. It has been through the provision of God and the caring of our church members that Compass Church is finally able to offer this much needed response to Columbia’s lack of transitional/affordable housing.
If you would like to be involved in helping with this ministry, please contact the church office (445-7206 or info@compassefc.com).
