History

Compass Foundation was founded in 2014 by a group of Christian businessmen from Mennonite communities in North America who recognized both the usefulness and dangers of information technology, and who sought to provide wholesome and productive environments for their families, employees, and fellow believers.

Vision

• We believe internet technology can help us fulfill our callings in the Kingdom but also has the potential to distract and deceive us if used without purposeful boundaries.
• We believe the primary power to resist destructive usage of technology comes from a heart transformed by Jesus Christ. Software cannot replace personal convictions or accountability. However, automated security measures can provide safeguards that protect from careless choices or accidental exposure.  
  
• We view the entertainment and social media aspects of internet technology as largely detrimental to Christian virtue and healthy human relationships.
• We believe that forming dependent relationships with artificial intelligence diminishes God's design for our spiritual, social, and intellectual wholeness.
• We believe in preserving the privacy of personal communication and data wherever possible, rather than compromising privacy for free services.

Mission

• To provide software and hardware tools that safeguard communication and internet technology, shaped by the values of the plain Anabaptist communities.
• To seek peaceable and productive collaboration with any technology partners, businesses, churches, and organizations who share our  vision for utilizing technology in a manner that honors God.
