Pentecost Special Offering – May 17th and 24th

On Pentecost, the Spirit did not stay in one place. It moved outward — across languages, cultures, and every barrier people believed separated them. In that moment, a new kind of community was born, shaped by courage, generosity, and love.

That same Spirit is still moving today.

In a world where many people feel uncertain, divided, or disconnected from one another, the Church is called to be a different kind of presence — one that reflects Christ’s compassion, humility, and grace.

The Prophet Micah reminds us what God asks of us:
“To do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with your God.” — Micah 6:8

Not just believe.
Not just gather.
But to live in ways that bring healing and hope.

Because faith without justice is empty — and justice, at its heart, is love in action.

The Pentecost Offering helps support New Church Ministry and your Region to nurture emerging and affiliating faith communities. Through these ministries, new spaces are created where people can encounter God, build meaningful relationships, and serve their neighbors with compassion.

Your gift helps these communities grow in neighborhoods seeking connection and hope. Give via Givelify, on Sunday morning or by going to the Pentecost offering giving page.

Thank you for giving, praying, and helping the Spirit continue its work among us.

St. Teresa of Avila wrote:

Christ has no body but yours,
No hands, no feet on earth but yours,
Yours are the eyes with which he looks
Compassion on this world,
Yours are the feet with which he walks to do good,
Yours are the hands, with which he blesses all the world.
Yours are the hands, yours are the feet,
Yours are the eyes, you are his body.
Christ has no body now but yours,
No hands, no feet on earth but yours,
Yours are the eyes with which he looks compassion on this world.
Christ has no body now on earth but yours.

We Have Moved!

  • Why did we move?

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 Sherman 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?

We are 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. Our last Sunday in the building on South Grand was November 2, 2025 – All Saints Sunday. Our first Sunday at our new location was November 9, 2025. 

  • Has the church contact information change?

Our mailing address has changed. 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.

  • What else has changed?

We are renting instead of owning, so we 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 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 continue to worship on Sundays at 11 am, Worship and Wonder continues to be offered during worship, and we continue to have fellowship time following worship.

  • What’s exciting about this move?

Maintaining the building on South Grand took an enormous amount of energy which is now freed up for ministry.  

  • Where do we park?

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. Click here for more details regarding parking.

  • What is happening to the building on South Grand?

We sold 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 purchased a building that they are in the process of renovating, 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.

Week of Compassion 2026 Special Offering

A New Way

When he returned to Capernaum after some days, it was reported that he was at home. So many gathered around that there was no longer room for them, not even in front of the door, and he was speaking the word to them. Then some people came, bringing to him a paralyzed man, carried by four of them. And when they could not bring him to Jesus because of the crowd, they removed the roof above him, and after having dug through it, they let down the mat on which the paralytic lay. When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralytic, “Child, your sins are forgiven.” (Mark 2: 1 – 5)

This fall, the Week of Compassion Board of Stewards gathered in San Diego, at the edge of a border where human lives and holy stories meet. There, they were reminded that displacement is not only about geography; it is about loss and resilience, faith and rebuilding. Whether caused by poverty, violence, persecution, or disaster, displacement reveals both the deep wounds of the world and the courage of those who refuse to give up home.

Whether rebuilding after a flood, responding to disaster, helping build a more equitable world or recovering from economic hardship, Week of Compassion is finding A NEW WAY – a way rooted in relationship, equity, and hope. Together, we are strengthening the church’s long-term capacity to respond and accompany, wherever people are displaced or in need. The gifts you give make an impact around the world, ensuring that vulnerable communities are held at the center of the work, and strengthening congregations and partners to respond.

Week of Compassion is a ministry of the whole Church, serving vulnerable communities throughout the world. Any time and anywhere we respond to a need, we bear witness to the unity of the Lord’s Table, faithfully sharing the gifts that we have received as an expression of Christ’s love. As we work with partners, we represent the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) commitment to unity, allowing our resources and responses to reach farther, growing our impact on a global scale.
