Our Mission
To know God and make Him known.
We will meet children, teens and adults wherever they are in their spiritual journey to encourage and equip them to take their next step in their relationship with God and others to advance His kingdom.
Our Values
1. Biblically & Prayerfully Rooted
The Bible is God’s Word and it is our authority for life. If we will adjust our lives (submit) to it, we will find a better way to live. We also believe in the power of prayer as true communication with God.
2. Disciple Makers
God has called us to make disciples and we hold that in high regard. At Crosswinds, we encourage one-to-one discipleship and seeing Believers grow in their faith.
3. Generous Living
A life filled with love is a life that gives.
4. Culturally Relevant
Using our spiritual gifts, talents, abilities, resources, passions and creativity, we believe that it is our role and responsibility to create excellent environments and eliminate any and all obstacles so that people have the best opportunity to encounter Jesus so that He can do what only He can do.
5. Extravagant Love
Because of what Jesus has done for us we believe the most loving thing we can do for others is to go to them and invite them to come and see who Jesus is and what He has done for them. We don’t throw stones.
Our Movement:
Believe | Belong | Become | Bless
Our Strategy:
Reach | Raise | Release
We will faithfully REACH people with the love and message of Jesus Christ as they take the step to BELIEVE. We will RAISE them to follow Christ as they discover what it means to BELONG to Him and His church, as well as BECOME who they were created to be. We will RELEASE them to partner with God to BLESS others by advancing His kingdom.
