About CrossWinds Church

CrossWinds is a church community that exists to create a life-changing experience of Jesus, champion unity in the midst of diversity, and help you live God's purpose for you in this world.

The number one value for our church is, "Jesus changes everything."  This motivates everything we do, from the creative ways we engage our community, to the sacrificial ways we serve those in need, and to our belief that what we have in common in Jesus is worth uniting around, even when it's hard.  We are a church that believes in experimenting and trying new things, all for the sake of seeing more people experience the love of Jesus. (You can see all of our church values here)

Our staff is team-oriented and as much as we know how to work hard, we also know how to have a good time together.  We support each other, we come alongside each other, and we genuinely care about each other.
