Our goal is to welcome each newcomer with open arms. You should be greeted with a smile, offered a cup of hot coffee, helped to find your class and given the opportunity to share. We really desire to practice hospitality.

Our worship service is friendly. We want you to feel welcome. We want each person to see God at work in our church family. We do not want anyone to feel judged or guilty. We are all sinners who have been forgiven and we want to never make anyone feel that God has no place for you here at CrossWinds. God will find a place for you to find Him at CrossWinds.

You will find the attire at CrossWinds is very much dependent on what the individual is comfortable in. You will find men dressed in suits and women in dresses. You will also find men in blue jeans and women in pants. We believe that what matters is the heart. We want you to feel comfortable being clothed in humility. (I Peter 5:5)

We are so excited you are here. We are also so happy to see your precious children. We offer Bible school classes for all ages during the “Sunday School” hour. We also offer an attended nursery during the worship hour. We really want our families to grow up together in worship together, so we do not have a “children’s church” but we will never judge anyone over a crying child.

CrossWinds is located on Highway 45, between Jackson, Humboldt and Milan, a city called Three Way. Our location is central for those in north Madison and southern Gibson counties.

We really value a safe environment for our worship time. We realize that we live in a potentially dangerous time. We have a committed security team.
