Beliefs
The mission of crossWinds church is to convince
people of the relevancy of God and lead them in becoming totally
devoted followers of Jesus Christ.
The sole basis of our belief is the Bible, which is uniquely
God-inspired, without error, and the final authority on all matters on
which it bears. As the Bible teaches, there is one God, eternally
existing in three persons — Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
— each possessing all the attributes of Deity.
God created humans to have fellowship with Him, but they defied God by
sinfully going their own way.
As a result, we need God's saving grace to end our alienation from Him.
Salvation comes only through God's saving grace — not human
effort — and must be received personally by repentance and
faith.
Jesus Christ, second Person of the Trinity, lived a sinless life on
earth and voluntarily paid for our sin by dying on the cross as our
substitute.
This accomplishes salvation for all who receive grace by trusting in
Him alone.
He rose from the dead and is the only mediator between us and God. He
will return to earth to consummate history.
The Holy Spirit draws sinners to Christ and equips believers for
personal growth and service to the church. The church's role is to
glorify God and serve those in need.
At the end, everyone will experience bodily resurrection and the
judgment.
Those forgiven through Christ will enjoy eternal fellowship with God.

“owner’s manual” available at the
information table in the church lobby.
