Connect at Crosswinds
Finding Your Way...
Crosswinds can seem like a big place sometimes and you may not be sure what you need or where to go. It's a lot like the supermarket ...You've all been to a grocery and the choices are huge; but everyone's' needs are different. Some of us just take the small basket for a few things...some need the medium cart for a little more...some of us need the large cart...Where ever you are, Connection Ministries is designed for you.

A Road Map
Guest Central:
After each weekend service Our guests can stop into "Guest Central" located near the Chapel entrance. Hear a brief overview of Crosswinds, talk with someone personally about connecting further or meet the weekend speaker. You can also fill out a "next step" card right here to get things going.
