About Us
Not Cultural; Just Christian.
Books You Can Trust, On The Things That Matter Most.
At Compass Press, we honor the timeless tradition of Christian publishing. From the early scribes of Scripture to the pioneers of the printing press, we are part of a sacred lineage dedicated to spreading the word of Christ. Our mission is to empower ministry through the written word, equipping and inspiring believers around the world.
Inspired by the distinctives of Compass Bible Institute and Compass Bible Church, we strive for biblical accuracy, a focus on discipleship, and a commitment to excellence in all we publish. We believe in reaching people for Christ, teaching them to be like Christ, and training them to serve Christ. Each book, article, and resource we publish is a step in fulfilling this mission, contributing to a legacy that spans from the ancient scrolls to the modern-day publishing process.
Join us on this journey, and become a part of the history of Christian publishing. Together, we can continue to spread the teachings of Christ, inspire faith, and equip the next generation of disciples.
Shepherds. Servants. Scribes. Scholars.
Join the service Line of Christian writers throughout the centuries.
Since the dawn of post-Fall humanity, the written word of God has been a beacon of light, guiding believers through centuries to the knowledge of salvation, spiritual growth, and sanctified lives dedicated to the Lord. Imagine the ancient scribe, meticulously inscribing holy texts by the flickering light of an oil lamp, or the humble tent-maker, Paul the Apostle, scrawling large letters, or the medieval monk, laboriously copying manuscripts in the cold quiet of a mountainside monastery. These sacred texts, penned on papyrus and parchment, were the lifeblood of early Christianity, preserving the teachings of Christ for generations to come.
Fast forward to the 15th century, and the world witnessed a revolutionary change: the invention of the Gutenberg Press. This groundbreaking technology transformed the dissemination of knowledge, making the Bible and other Christian works accessible to countless believers. The printed word became a powerful tool for reformation and revival, spreading the gospel far and wide.
Today, Compass Press stands as a modern torchbearer of this venerable tradition. We are not merely a publishing house; we are part of a grand, unbroken chain of Christian communicators. Our mission is to carry forward the legacy of those early scribes and pioneers, providing resources that reach, teach, and train disciples of Jesus Christ.
Envision the journey through time—an unbroken lineage from the ancient scrolls of papyrus to the cutting-edge technology of “scrolling” on a digital screen today. Each book, each article, each resource we produce is a testament to this enduring legacy. As you explore and contribute to our publications, you become part of this magnificent history, contributing to the ongoing story of faith.
Just as early Christians gathered in hidden rooms and grand cathedrals, we invite you to join us in this sacred endeavor. By submitting your manuscripts and proposals, you are stepping into a role played by countless believers before you—scribes, monks, reformers, shepherds, fishermen, scholars, and now modern authors and theologians. Together, we will continue to spread the teachings of Christ, ensuring that His message resonates through the ages.
