Join a Chapter
Show up once.
See what happens.
There is no application. No commitment required for the first visit. A man comes once, sits in the room, and decides for himself.
What joining looks like
The current Chapter meets on Saturday mornings at 7am. Brian Guides the first session for any new Brother. You read the assigned section of the current book beforehand — that's the only preparation required.
The meeting has structure: discussion of the book, then The Round. Three moves: a check-in (where are you, really?), The Ask (prayer and accountability), and The Close (a verse or a thought to carry into the week). It runs about an hour.
You do not need to perform. You do not need to have your life together. You need a willingness to show up and say something true. That's the whole requirement.
What it costs
Nothing.
Crown and Compass is free because the Gospel is free, and because the best communities — F3, AA, the early church — have never charged for belonging. A man doesn't pay to belong here. He belongs because he shows up.
The current book
Every Chapter reads the same book at the same time. The book is the common ground that makes honest conversation possible. Without it, men default to small talk or complaint. With it, they have a shared text to push against: to agree with, to argue with, to hold up as a mirror.
