TESTIMONIALS

  • Charles R. Prescott

    "In the day in which we live, there has never been a better time to launch a fundamental Bible College. Having known Pastor Tim Cruse, his work for the Lord over these past 11 years, and his leadership with Shining Light Baptist Church, Academy, and Children's Home, it is with great pleasure that I endorse his newest work Compass College and Seminary. May the Lord bless this work and many be trained for ministry under the leadership of this man of God."

  • Pastor Scott Hooks

    "Pastor Tim Cruse is a dear friend who possesses a heart for the Lord, a great vision for God’s work, and godly wisdom. For years, Pastor Cruse, has shared with me and others that the Lord has placed a burden in his heart to train men and women for Christian service and ministry. I am grateful to see that vision realized with the birth of Compass College and Seminary. The need for laborers is greater than ever before. I encourage you to consider Compass College and Seminary in preparation for a life of Christian service."

  • "Our Lord’s prayer request is this lost world’s greatest need - we need more gospel laborers. I am grateful for pastors and local churches who have the desire to help train another generation for the work of God. Pastor Tim Cruse has the heart of a student and the mind of a teacher. He is passionate about passing on what the Lord is teaching him. I am praying for Compass College and Seminary. May this new work be used, along with many others, to see laborers sent into the harvest."

    "It has been a privilege to get to know Pastor Tim Cruse over the past few years. His vision and dedication to the Lord's work and training up the youth has been inspiring to me in my ministry. I know and understand the power of prayer, and have witnessed brother Cruse put this into action. I believe the burden placed on Brother Cruse's heart to start Compass College & Seminary is from God. I also believe that Pastor Cruse, Shining Light Baptist Church, and their team will follow in God's calling by seeking the Lord's direction each step of the way. I look forward to witnessing all that God will do through this ministry addition."

    "Colossians1:9-11 describes Dr. Tim Cruse and the extraordinary staff at Compass College and Seminary. Dr. Cruse is an excellent example of a man who desires the experiential knowledge of God, wisdom, and spiritual understanding to produce fruit well pleasing to the Lord. What better way to produce spiritual fruit than to establish Compass College and Seminary along with the many ministries of Shining Light Baptist Church to prepare young people to serve Christ!"
