We are a church located on the northern edge of Rochester, MN (best known as the home of the Mayo Clinic). Crosswinds began in 1997 with a strong desire to reach people far from God and to help followers of Jesus grow in devotion, maturity and love. We desire to make changes easily, to speak in ways that are relevant to our culture but hold tightly to the substance of our faith. What does that mean? We may adapt our style, but not our theology. Our weekly attendance is hovering around 350. We are a loving joy filled group of folks who are serious about our mission. Our mission statement: to convince people of the relevancy of God and to lead them in becoming fully devoted followers of Jesus Christ.
