Jesus has been growing and forming the Main St core team, answering our prayers that he would start a new church that welcomes and sends people out to share God’s love.

On Sunday October 6, Main St Church will officially open to the public! Throughout September we’ll prepare our hearts, our teams, and our building to welcome people into our church family:

September 8, 10 am – Vision + Donuts. Learn what we envision for welcoming new people, and monthly Sunday volunteer opportunities to be part of the team! Served with donuts. Childcare provided.

September 15, 10 am – Work party and lunch. The plan is to finish painting, plant shrubs, clean, and dedicate our building ahead of our October 6 opening.

September 21, 1-4 pm (Saturday) – Evangelism training. Get tools and experience praying for and sharing the good news of Jesus with others.

September 22, 10 am – Prayer gathering. Childcare provided.

September 29 through October 5 – Week of prayer and fasting. No church gathering.

Near the end of 2021, the leaders of Compass Church made a difficult yet courageous decision to close their church and start a new one. With a heart to introduce people to Jesus and a 100 year old building in downtown Vancouver, they began to pray for a fresh start. in 2023, God provided a church planter to help lead the process of planting a new church.

Today Main St Church is a newly forming community devoted to prayer, fellowship, and God’s Word. We are learning to follow Jesus, and are most interested in helping others follow him. We love Jesus, and the people and places around us.

A diverse family of deeply formed Christ-followers sent out to share God’s love.

Counter-cultural unity – togetherness in Christ is a powerful witness that Jesus is for all people.

Everyday apprenticeship – we’re all still learning, and all of us make disciples who make disciples.

Simple gatherings – gatherings are kept as simple as possible so they’re Christ-centered, relational, and easy to start/reproduce.

Wholehearted sending – we joyfully equip and release leaders to extend God’s kingdom locally and globally.
