Compassion Church

10/02/2026

Every Sunday from 10am to noon, Compassion Church gathers at Compassion Coffee for worship and discipleship. Our aim as we do this is to grow in our unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God, and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. (Ephesians 4:13)

That kind of growth takes time, honesty, and commitment. Our time together includes fellowship, corporate prayer, Communion, worship in song, giving, study of God's Word, open discussion, and discipleship in smaller groups.

In the new year, we'll begin reading through the Bible together as a church, with the text or theme on Sunday aligning with our reading.

We invite you to join us.

Our worship gatherings now take place from 10am-noon!

The purpose of our Sunday morning worship gatherings is to grow to become in every respect the mature body of Christ. Ephesians 4:11-16 paints a beautiful picture of what we aim for as we gather as the body of Christ.

"So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming. Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ. From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work."

In order to do this well, we're moving to a two-hour gathering from 10am to noon. Our gatherings include fellowship, corporate prayer, Communion, singing, giving, studying God’s Word, discussion, and discipleship in smaller groups. In the new year, we’ll begin to read the Bible together as a church.

Last Thursday we shared something that's been on our hearts — the idea of bringing the conversation about homelessness in Anoka off the comment section and into community. Nearly 100 of you let us know you were interested, and we're grateful for that more than we can say!

We're moving forward. Compassion Conversations will be a monthly gathering at the coffeehouse where city and county leaders, local nonprofits, and community members can come together to listen, learn, and work toward real solutions for our unhoused neighbors. These conversations will be hosted and led by Compassion Coffee. Drinks are on us.

Our first conversation is Thursday, July 30th from 6:30–8:30pm. Space is limited to 30 people each month to keep the conversations focused and productive, so we encourage you to register soon. Please limit to registering for one event for now so everyone has an opportunity to make it to an in-person event. We're also planning to live stream each conversation on Facebook and YouTube.

We'll share updates about details regarding speakers and topics as they come together. Learn more and register at www.compassioncoffeemn.com/conversation — we hope to see you there.

There's been a lot of conversation online recently about homelessness in the Anoka area. Homelessness in the suburbs is closer to home than many realize — and the conversation around it deserves more than a comment section.

We're considering hosting an evening at the coffeehouse to bring that conversation off-line and into community. Drinks are on us.

What to expect:

We're working to bring together voices from the City of Anoka, Anoka County, and local nonprofits doing this work — to share data and ground-level insights on suburban homelessness in our area. From there, we'll open the floor for discussion around one of the harder questions: what does it actually look like to show genuine compassion while also holding space for accountability?

Let us know you're interested: https://www.compassioncoffeemn.com/conversation

Fill out the form and we'll follow up by email with details as they come together. We'll also keep our socials updated as the event takes shape.

We believe in the power of community — and right now, our community has a chance to do something meaningful!

Family Promise in Anoka County is opening a Guest House in C**n Rapids that will provide overnight shelter for 8 families, creating a permanent, dignified solution to family homelessness in Anoka County.

As a practical way to show compassion, we're hosting a supply drive for their most-needed items. The guest house opens in July, and we'd love your support stocking their shelves!

Now through June 27, bring any of the following to the coffeehouse:

✅ Laundry detergent
✅ Full-size body wash
✅ 40-gallon trash bags
✅ Bathroom sink hand soap (refillable containers)

📍 530 W. Main St. #8, Anoka | June 16–27

We also encourage you to attend the grand opening for the guest house on Tuesday, June 23rd from 4-7pm. Click the link below to learn more.
