Join us for what’s sure to be a highlight of your marriage and the beginning of many positive changes.
Whether you’ve been married six months or sixty years, every marriage can use a boost. In this one-day conference led by Dr. Gary Chapman, author of the #1 New York Times bestseller The 5 Love Languages®️, you and your spouse will focus on the basics of every marriage. With wisdom and a healthy dose of humor, Dr. Chapman gives valuable tips on breaking unhealthy patterns and choosing to develop a more intimate, happy marriage.
Be equipped with Dr. Chapman’s expertise on these insightful topics:
Communication 101 — Honest and healthy communication is essential for a thriving marriage. Most couples experience some sort of difficulty in having profitable discussions with their spouse. Some even say, “We don’t really talk at all.” Discover your own tendency to be a “babbling brook” or a “dead sea” and how to deal with its implications. Hear Dr. Chapman present memorable anecdotes that drive home his practical advice that any couple can use to improve their communication.
Understanding and Expressing Love — What should couples do when those exciting feelings of love seem to be long gone? Learning your spouse’s “love language” and choosing to act out of love are the steps to renewing your relationship. Dr. Chapman explains how to rekindle those emotions with a few simple strategies couples can use to express love to their spouses and refill the empty “love tank” in each of them.
Initiating Positive Change — Dr. Chapman speaks to both wives and husbands in this session as he shares the key to thriving marriages. While stressing the value and significance of both partners, he will help couples gain clarity in their quest toward a unified, growing marriage. You will receive advice on how to handle strong disagreements, power struggles and poor decisions.
Making Sex a Mutual Joy — We may giggle at or avoid the subject, but there is no denying that God created sex and designed it as a powerful forum for loving your spouse. What better place to address misconceptions, talk about difficulties and explain God’s intention for sex than a session with Dr. Gary Chapman, who has over 40 years of experience in marital counseling and can candidly address this important issue?
How to Share the Things that Bug You — When the differences within your marriage rear their ugly heads, how do you process them without damaging your mate? In this session, Dr. Chapman will teach you ways to lovingly accept your spouse while letting your voice be heard. Learn the delicate art of constructive criticism and how to let laughter reign in your marriage.

Next Steps
About Jesus
It’s natural to have questions about God. Have you ever wondered what God thinks of you? Do you have questions about who Jesus is and why people want to follow him? Have you ever considered what it means to become a follower of Jesus? These are great questions!
Made New
Baptism is the way of expressing our commitment to following Jesus; it is a pledge of our faith and life to God. It best symbolizes the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus. It also signifies your new life in Christ as your sins are washed away with your faith in Jesus and you become a new creation in Him.

Community Groups
Compass Groups are all about building community. Groups are typically made up of six to ten people who gather together once a week in homes, restaurants or other places in our community. Compass Groups are built around individuals sharing similar interests or life stages and they’re one of the best ways to develop meaningful connection at Compass while growing in your walk with Christ.

Prayer
Prayer
Prayer is purposeful communication with God. God invites people to pray and communicate with Him throughout the day. We should pray when things are going great and when life is lousy. In fact, the Bible encourages us to “pray continually” (1 Thes. 5:17). Prayer can happen anywhere and at any time as God is always available to listen.
Sometimes we may want to pray, but not know where to start. The good news is that God understands what we’re trying to say—even if we don’t quite know how to say it (Romans 8:26-27). God cares about what’s going on in your life: the good, the bad and even the ugly. In fact, he wants to help you with whatever’s going on in your life—all you have to do is ask. The Bible says we can approach God with confidence, knowing that He is ready and willing to help us whenever we’re in need (Hebrews 4:16).
Giving
LIFE-CHANGING GENEROSITY
Generosity is a core part of our culture at Compass because God has been so generous to us. Giving is an act of worship — a grateful response to what He has done in our lives. And it’s only through the generosity and response of others that Compass is able to meet the needs of people all around the world and help them find and follow Jesus.
