Our Mission

“Crosswinds exists to connect people with Jesus, with each other, and with our world.”

We are a spiritual formation church. We want to challenge, inspire and develop people of all ages and stages of spiritual development to grow in Christ. We seek to grow deeply in our own faith and to assist all on their spiritual journey, sharing that transformational faith with the world around us.

Our Statement Of Faith

1. We believe the Bible to be the inspired, infallible and authoritative word of God.
2. We believe that there is one God, eternally existent in three Persons: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
3. We believe the Father is the Creator and Sustainer of all things. With the Son and the Holy Spirit, he made humankind in his own image and relates to us as a loving, holy Father.
4. We believe in the deity of our Lord Jesus Christ, in his virgin birth, in his sinless life, in his miracles, in his atoning death on the cross, in his bodily resurrection from the dead, in his ascension to the right hand of the Father, and in his personal return to earth in power and glory.
5. We believe in the present ministry of the Holy Spirit by whose indwelling the Christian is enabled to live a godly life and gifted for effective service in the Kingdom of God.
6. We believe that Christ’s gracious offering of himself on the cross is the only grounds for salvation from sin. Salvation comes when an individual turns from sin and trusts fully in the saving work of Jesus Christ.
7. We believe in the resurrection of the dead; they that are saved into heaven and eternal glory, and they that are lost into hell and its everlasting separation from God.
8. We believe that the Christian church is the entire universal body of believers in Jesus Christ. We believe that a local church is a body of believers organized together for the purposes of worship, fellowship, discipleship and witness.
9. We believe that water baptism and the Lord’s Supper are the sacraments of the church instituted by Christ.

Our Core Values

Grace

We believe that we have been shown a beautiful and undeserved grace from God, and that we are called to live in that grace and show that kind of grace to those around us. We as a church are committed to loving our world at every level: locally, regionally, nationally, and globally. (Matthew 22:37-39, Matthew 28:18-20)

Community

We believe that the Christian life is intended to be lived out in the context of loving and authentic community. We as a church are committed to creating environments where transformational community can be born. Some of these environments include: Small Groups, Children & Student Ministry, Celebrate Recovery, and other serving opportunities. (Acts 2:42, Proverbs 27:17)

Generosity

We believe that we as Christians are to model the kind of generosity Jesus modeled for us. As a church we are committed to being a good steward of all the resources God has given us. These resources include: our time, talents, money, and possessions. (Philippians 2:5-8, 1Timothy 6:17-19)

Service

We believe that the church is the body of Christ and that we are called to be active in the ministries that God has equipped us for. We as a church want to encourage all followers of Jesus to discover, develop, and use their spiritual gifts to serve God and others. (Ephesians 4:7-16)
