Compassion
Life changes. Life hurts. Life gives. Life takes. We believe that God has a purpose for pain, joy and change in your life, and we can help you find that purpose.
College Park's Compassion Ministries exist to respond with the love of God quickly, continue this love for the short term and follow-up consistently for as long as it takes, while maintaining biblical truth.

Compassion Ministries' "See This Thing" Christmas Devotional Video
The joy of the season overwhelms us to the point where we may miss the way others see this thing which has come to pass. There were the shepherds, the angels, Mary and Joseph, Herod, the Magi and countless others! The same perspectives exist today and we want you to experience them by video.
Each of these people have been hand-picked to represent a particular perspective of Christmas from their own experience. As you watch, please pray for these people and those they represent. Then sense a bit of the differences in how people see this thing which has come to pass. Watch the Compassion Ministiries' Christmas Compassion Video below:
