  • Complete online registration by the August deadline
  • Questions you will be asked during the registration process (we recommend typing your responses ahead of time, then copying/pasting them into the registration form):
    • Why are you interested in being a part of Compass? (1-3 paragraphs)
    • Who do you admire in life? Why? What qualities stand out to you that they express?
    • What qualities would you bring to the program?
    • This program will provide opportunities for growth in Christian Science. Are there any questions or ideas you would like to explore during the program?

 

Program Cost

My spiritual toolkit has been expanded a lot since Compass started. It’s cool to be close with a group of other Christian Science teens where we can relate to each other, and it makes me feel stronger as a Christian Scientist in return.
