Today there was a historical educational component to learn about the history of America - the foundational history component was enjoyable 2. Someone brought various vegetable plants for the community to take 3. Indirectly reflect conservative values; which I am looking for 4. They did not have many grand improvements - which is nice for a place of worship Ended up talking with the pastors wife Rebecca, while I was waiting, who I seemed to have connected with or so I thought... I was thinking maybe this was going to be my home church and was trying to give her my business card just so I could give her my cell phone number... and she got really offended and said that "we don't do that here and walked away". It was extremely cold and I am very shocked the turn of emotions by Rebecca's demeanor. After reading other comments that are similar - I'm dropping my review from 5 stars to 1. Before you try this church please read the other comments on how this church will not help you in your time of need. 5/5 sermon but I won't be coming back... good luck Rebecca. ------------- The message finally came to me. Rebecca's "we do not do that here" translates to "we do not help people". Very obvious and relevant based on the negative reviews. It's shameful. However, if you are reading this review and you have not attended any churches - I would still encourage you to visit it to learn about Jesus if it's your only resort. Otherwise, I would recommend going elsewhere. May everyone find and lead like Jesus.

I have not been to Compass Bible Church in HB but I have been to the one in Aliso Viejo. I stopped attending the AV location because at the time, the main pastor had an aggressive vibe and they were openly against Catholics and Mormons. This review isn't about the HB location but about my recent experience being approached by two men from Compass who were trying to convert us. My husband and I have been Christians for decades and the conversation was very offputting. I'll refer to the men as F and G. My husband and I were enjoying an afternoon out with our family when F and G came up to us. They invited us to church and asked if we are already a part of a church community. We said yes and thought that would be the end of the conversation. They briefly left us alone to talk to another family but then came back and interrupted us while my husband and I were talking to each other. F asked my husband something along the lines of, "If someone collapsed right in front of you and he only had 7 minutes to live, what would you say to him to save his soul?" My husband was confused, then F said, "Okay now you have 6 min and 30 seconds!" My husband asked, "Are you testing my faith right now?" F went on to say how important it is for Christians to be able to articulate the gospel quickly to someone who needs it. It was very condescending and tone deaf, especially when F doubled down at the end of his speech to ask my husband yet again what he would say to the dying man. At that point, my husband was frustrated and quipped that he would first call 911 before asking the guy about his soul. Now, my husband and I are both very equipped to summarize the gospel but we felt no need to prove ourselves to F and G. The entire exchange made us angry, especially since F and G were disrespectful to us. Their intent was to give us their spiel regardless of whether or not we were receptive. Anyone could've sensed that we did not want to be bothered, but F and G continued to try to get us to prove that we knew the gospel. This tactic is very outdated and disrespectful. Perhaps they came across some people that day who really did want to have a conversation with them, and in that case, go for it! You have to read the person and see if they are open or closed to talking with you. Also, this tactic only takes numbers into consideration rather than actually forming a relationship. I imagine they went home happy to report they talked to X number of people that day. Sure, they talked to people, but did they actually care about those people? If they cared about us, they would've respected our time and left us alone after they sensed we were not interested. In hindsight, we should've asked them point blank to leave us alone. Evangelism needs to be lead with love first. Having one meaningful conversation all day would be much more impactful in the eyes of the kingdom - even if the person decided not to go to church or decided they weren't interested in Jesus. It's about actually listening to people and caring for them without an agenda. If I was not a Christian, this interaction would have really soured my view of the church. This is the kind of Christianity that people are turned off by and makes us Christians cringe. Just because someone doesn't want to talk to you or doesn't want to prove their faith to you doesn't mean they are weak in their faith or are going to hell. They just don't want to talk to someone disrespectful! I would have said a shortened version of this to their faces but I knew they would not be receptive to feedback. They had a goal and were not to be deterred. In short, be mindful of the current culture, be sensitive to people's attitudes, and see strangers as people rather than numbers to convert.
