The building on South Grand was our 4th home since the congregation was founded in 1894. We are proud that over the past 75 years our stewardship of the building has provided a space for many organizations that have served our community – Isaiah 58 Ministries (Isaiah 58), Cornerstone Center for Early Learning, and Shenandoah School to name a few. Isaiah 58 has been our primary tenant for the past 30 years. During that time, their ministry has grown and, in recent years, they indicated that they needed a bigger/more suitable space and a location closer to the people they serve. With Isaiah 58 planning to relocate, we felt that there are better uses of our energy, money, and talents than maintaining a building that would only be used one day a week. In July 2024, we made the decision to put our building up for sale and relocate.
- When and where did we move?
Our last Sunday in the building on South Grand was November 2, 2025 – All Saints Sunday. Our first Sunday at our new location is November 9, 2025. We will be renting space in the former Holy Family Catholic Church – now owned by Power Creative located at 3221 Oak Hill Avenue, Saint Louis, MO 63116. The building is on the corner of Oak Hill Avenue and Humphrey Street.
- Will the church contact information change?
Our mailing address will change. The new mailing address is: Compton Heights Christian Church, 3232 Clifton Ave. Box #21817, St. Louis MO 63139-9998. Our phone number remains the same: 314-240-0995.
We will be renting instead of owning, so we will no longer have responsibility for the maintenance of a building and grounds. There are two rooms that we have use of 24/7 – an office and a small classroom. The worship space, kitchen, and fellowship area are shared spaces; we will have exclusive use of those spaces on Sunday mornings, but other uses will need to be scheduled with Power Creative. While there are changes, many things stay the same. We will continue to worship on Sundays at 11 am, there will be Worship and Wonder offered during worship, and we will have fellowship time following worship.
- What’s exciting about this move?
Maintaining the building on South Grand has taken an enormous amount of energy which is now freed up for ministry.
There is a parking lot directly west of the building, off Humphrey Street. There is also street parking along Humphrey Street and Oak Hill Avenue. Entrance to the worship space is through the side entrances off Humphrey Street.
- What is happening to the building on South Grand?
We are selling the building to a vibrant non-profit organization, St Louis BWorks. Their mission is to inspire youth to pursue their dreams, care for the world around them, and explore new possibilities through experiential learning. Visit St. Louis BWorks website at https://www.bworks.org/ for more information on that organization. Isaiah 58 has identified a building they hope to purchase, but they will remain in the South Grand building until late 2026. We are happy that the building we have loved and that has served us, and so many others so well will be given new life as the new home of St. Louis BWorks.
