In the Gospel of John we hear this promise made to the diciples, "I will come again and will take you to myself, so that where I am, there you may be also.  And you know the way to the place where I am going." Thomas said to him, " Lord, we do now know where you are going. How can we know the way?"  Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life." John 1 4:3-6a

The Faith Copmpass is a tool to help guide us on this journey as followers of Jesus Chris. From scripture we find that each part of the Faith Compass is needed in living out our Christian faith:

    DWELLING before GOD

    CALLING

    BODY OF BELIEVERS

TRUE LIFE is being in the loving presence of God the Father, Son and Holy Spririt. TRUE LIFE is lived out as we embody this loving presence in our life. Like a compass, there are reference points that are essential for navigating the path to TRUE LIFE.

DWELLING before GOD is being in the presence of God. We will daily read scripture and pray. There is no substitute for this daily devotional practice, which we know has the greatest impact for maturing faith. In John 1, Dwelling represents "the truth."  

CALLING is the constant voice of God saying "Follow Me." We will live out our calling to follow Jesus Christ in our families, church, community and daily lives. In John 1, Calling represents "the way."

BODY OF BELIEVERS is being in community with other believers. We will worship weekly because we know this is where God speaks to all of us, proclaiming forgiveness, life and salvation. We go from worship into our daily lives aligning our ways with the way of Jesus Christ. In John 1, Body of Believers represents "the life."

Other connecting points of the FAITH COMPASS:

    Daily Life - CALLING is a Way of Life.

    Koinonia Body - We need others to know us and encourage us in our faith. Groups agree to be intentional about their time of fellowship and mission, following a CALL TO TRUE LIFE.

    Sharing (practicing) - God sent Jesus for the sake of the world. TRUE LIFE is a gift to be received and given away over and over again.
