About

Compass Church San Diego is an evangelical congregation in College Area, San Diego, meeting at 5717 Lindo Paseo inside the Hillel Center building a half-block west of the SDSU campus boundary in the 92115 ZIP. The church shares the SDSU-adjacent campus ministry space with institutions including Aztec Catholic Newman Center on Hardy Avenue, and both congregations draw from the same undergraduate and graduate-student population that cycles through College Area housing each academic year. Lead Pastor Cameron took the senior role in 2024 after serving six years as associate pastor, and he holds a degree from Colorado State University with ongoing studies at Gateway Seminary. The church runs two Sunday morning gatherings and maintains a dedicated college ministry that folds SDSU undergraduates into the same worship services, small groups, and service projects as the broader congregation. Lindo Paseo runs parallel to the southern edge of the SDSU campus, and the Hillel Center's location puts Compass within walking distance of the SDSU Transit Center, the campus recreation fields, and the South Campus Plaza retail area. Free parking is available in the Hillel Center lot and on Lindo Paseo street spaces, with wheelchair-accessible entrances and accessible restrooms and seating inside the worship hall. Post-service community continues at nearby coffee spots, and Living Room Coffeehouse - College Area on El Cajon Boulevard operates as a study and gathering space for the same SDSU demographic that fills Compass's Sunday rows. Compass is a member of the San Diego Southern Baptist Association and hosts seasonal community events including water-access fundraising runs that pair local fitness culture with international service partnerships.
