WORSHIP:
I’ve struggled with anxiety my entire life. It reached a point a few year’s ago where I couldn’t even step out the front door without having a panic attack. Music is one of my passions, so though it took a couple years, and lots of trust in God, I am finally able to lead worship for others. And worshiping, and praising the Lord myself, in one of my favorite ways. – Ellie

STUDENT MINISTRY:
Student ministry was a critical part of my upbringing and making my faith my own. Having the opportunity to return the favor and continue to poor into generations of teens in a time when they need it the most has been incredibly impactful to me. I get to further my faith as the teens challenge me and I feel blessed to know that I can stand in their corner as they face the world. – Sheldon

CROSSWINDS:
While it may not seem like much and I have not always been consistent, I will go the rest of my life telling people how Crosswinds was/is my first church home. The comfort I feel every time is remarkable. Outside of church I’m trying every day to be a better version of myself and I’m thankful God is a part of it again. – Marissa

The goal in my renewed life was to get involved in Crosswinds. At last year’s Huddle Bowl, I signed up to be a greeter. I have met so many nice people walking through those doors every Sunday morning at 11:00 am. I pray that I warmly welcome them and put a smile on their face as much as they warmly greet me and put a smile on mine! I’m truly blessed, and God is good! – Colleen
