I'm sorry to hear that this was U C.'s experience. While I can't speak to every conversation U C…read more has had or every conclusion reached, I can speak to my own experience as someone who calls Compass Bible Church Hill Country home. I've found the pastors to be deeply committed to teaching God's Word faithfully and carefully. They encourage us to test everything they teach against Scripture (Acts 17:11), not simply accept their opinions. Some theological topics--such as assurance of salvation, sanctification, or books like Enoch--have been debated by sincere Christians for centuries. It's understandable that believers won't agree on every interpretation. Regarding salvation, I have never heard the church teach that a Christian must "start over," make a new confession, or be re-baptized every time they sin. The consistent emphasis has been that salvation is by grace through faith in Christ alone, and that genuine saving faith produces a transformed life--not that good works earn salvation. As for education, I've never felt that a college degree or academic background determined whether someone belonged. Our small groups include people from many different walks of life, and I've seen everyone--from tradesmen to professionals to stay-at-home parents--welcomed and cared for. No church is perfect because no church is made up of perfect people. There have undoubtedly been conversations that could have gone better, and I hope anyone who leaves with questions is heard respectfully. Compass is a church that encourages conversation. But describing the church as manipulative or unloving simply doesn't reflect what I have consistently experienced. I've seen pastors give sacrificially of their time, members care for one another through illness and hardship, and the congregation strive to grow in holiness while extending grace. If someone is looking for a church that prioritizes verse-by-verse exposition of Scripture, takes discipleship seriously, and desires to glorify Christ above personalities or trends, I believe Compass Bible Church Hill Country is well worth visiting. Rather than relying solely on reviews--positive or negative--I would encourage anyone searching for a church to attend several services, meet the pastors and members, ask questions openly, and prayerfully discern whether it is where God is leading them. Grace and truth are both biblical values (John 1:14), and my experience has been that this church sincerely strives to pursue both.

My 5th grade daughter & I visited Compass on Good Friday April 3, 2026. We were both soo…read moredisappointed in the overall service that we decided not to go back on Easter Sunday. The pastor started preaching without any greeting to the congregation OR welcome to new visitors! One of the reviews described the pastors/preaching as "military grade" & that's what it felt like sadly. The pastor used all these big words that I understood (I have a Masters degree) but wondered who he was trying to impress! He also never even cracked a smile......nor did any of the church members! As I looked around, the members looked like robots looking straight ahead at their "leader.! Not a SINGLE person appeared to notice us & after we left, my daughter said to me "those people don't have the joy of the Lord!" That broke my heart because followers of Jesus should be the friendliest, most welcoming, most non-judgmental people in the world reaching out to a world that is desperately hurting!

We received a few mailers for Easter and so I decided to check a few of them out before I asked my husband to attend for Easter Sunday Crosswalk is located in a small neighborhood in Round Rock. Attending alone for the first time I prefer to observe and not have too many people come up to me asking me questions. I was so pleased that I did not feel bombarded or overwhelmed. The service begins with contemporary songs. The message is relatable and not too long or condemning. I brought my husband for the sunrise service on Easter Sunday which was outside. The weather was very nice. The service was very beautiful and heart felt. What was most impressive about this small church is they don't ask for money. The pastor let us know if we wanted to give an offering it was located inside. We of course left an offering as we wanted to give back for our wonderful experience and we wanted to support the giving of this church. This church has other ministries for the community to get involved. This church is an example of kindness. I found the people to be genuine and loving towards each other. The Pastor made himself relatable and as normal as those there to hear a great message. We will be attending here when in Texas. Thank you Crosswalk.

A year ago an event I attended with my children, it was supposed to be a fun evening for us, more…read moreso specifically for my children. Since that evening those memories have lingered, the treatment I received from the organizers and some of those attendees, has left pain, hurt, and dark memories of that organization and the event they put on for the public. These photos are of my children from that evening a year ago. Last week I went back to see the registration details on that organizations website for this same event coming up in a few weeks, to only come across THESE RESTRICTIONS now plastered across their webpage. I took my children, I as the chaperone, my son as the prince, and my daughter's as the princesses. I was the ONLY mother/female there with her children last year. Everyone else was an adult male with a young girl. What was the harm, damage done by myself chaperoning my children to attend a "prince and princess dance"?? To now place restrictions on their annual event. The organizers made it obvious they did not welcome me there, they all kept approaching me questioning me. When I left that night, I felt I could not have left there fast enough. My children deserve equal treatment as any other child does. To treat a parent, mother, adult, who did no harm and had the children's best Interest first to attend that event. Those organizers should be ashamed of themselves for what they did and said. This organization hosting this event coming up in a few weeks, shame on all the organizers who have put their opinions into putting this on, how they mistreat parents, discriminate towards families and don't welcome families of different dynamics. I made a few phone calls around the city, and THANKFULLY there are other organizations locally that recognize the dynamics of families and WELCOME my children and myself together to attend their prince/princess dance. We are now registered to attend these events with these other gracious organizations. They will keep my business, with positive words, my support, and I will gladly give them referrals! Thank you to these organizations/businesses that open their doors to all families! (One day that other organization may hopefully open their eyes and mind to see how discriminatory they are to publically place those restrictions. Shameful).

On several occasions if someone sees me waiting they'll open the door and ask if I need help. When I tell them I'm there for counseling they welcome me in with open arms and are very polite. On Thursday July 25th, 2024 I had texted my counselor to let her know I was running a few minutes late but I was on my way. When I arrived I knocked on the door at 10:10 because I was frantic to talk to her because I had some new issues I wanted to discuss with her. A man in his 50's or early 60's with short white hair and medium build opened the door and asked what I needed. I told him I needed to see me counselor. He said the proper procedure was to text my counselor and she would come get me because she might be in session. I told him she was not in session and that it was my time to be in session with her. He refused to let me in the building and said he would let my counselor know I was there. After several minutes I called her to let me in. I asked her if he came to let her know I was there and she said no. He was obviously an unpleasant individual on a power trip so why he's involved with a church is beyond me. I called the church after my session and told a lady what happened and that I wanted to talk to who's in charge. No one called me back so I called several days later and left a voicemail on a pastor's line and still have heard nothing back. I was running late but that's no excuse for someone to give someone a hard time that's seeking help especially at a church. It seems no one in charge feels this is a problem so I'd urge caution about coming to this church especially if you're going there for counseling.
