Our Beliefs

Finding a spiritual community to support your life of faith matters. We welcome you to find that home with the people of Cross Winds.

Cross Winds Mission and Vision

Inviting everyone into a grace-filled relationship with God

We welcome everyone to experience a life with God immersed in a gracious, extravagant love. Jesus shows us how to live that way with kindness, compassion, love, and respect.  We are committed to following Christ’s example to be a fully inclusive, diverse, grace-filled, and compassionate church! 

Discipling people on their faith journey

We are on a life-long adventure of transformation taking on the character of Christ.  To equip us for the journey we encourage a life of prayer, study of scripture, participation in worship and exploration of our gifts. Remembering God is always with us we are able to reach out in love to bless the world. 

Healing a broken world

God’s creation is a gift, and we are called to take care of it.   We will act justly, live generously and humbly, wisely sharing our resources and talents so that the world may experience the transformative love of God in ways that bring healing, compassion, justice, reconciliation, and hope. 

Inclusive

We are committed to inclusiveness in all aspects of the life of the Church. Following Jesus’ example, we will work to intentionally welcome and include all persons. We will live this example by embracing the richness of diversity such as age, race, ethnicity, ability, sexual orientation, economic status and gender identity found within the fullness of the community.

Scripture Matters

The Great Commandment

MATTHEW 22: 37– 39   You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’  This is the greatest and first commandment.  A second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’  

The Great Commission

MATTHEW 28: 19-20  Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age. 

Healing a Broken World

LUKE 4: 18–19  The Spirit of the Lord is upon me because the Lord has anointed me. He has sent me to preach good news to the poor, to proclaim release to the prisoners and recovery of sight to the blind, to liberate the oppressed, and to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.
