About Compassion
Who we
are.
A family of ordinary people who found real hope in Jesus — and want as many people as possible to experience that same freedom. One church in Florence, SC. This is the front door to our story.
Who we are
Jesus. That's the whole thing.
Compassion Church cares about one thing more than anything else — Jesus Christ. We're a family of ordinary people who found real hope in Him, and we want as many people as possible to experience that exact same freedom.
Wherever you are in your faith journey, you'll always be accepted as part of the Compassion family. We're saving a seat for you.
