CCC Distinctives

What makes CrossWinds stand out? What are some convictions about the church and Ministry? Below are eleven highlights we stand for:

​

Bible-driven Preaching l "preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort, with great patience and teaching" (2 Tim 4:2).

​

​Gospel Centrality l "but we preach Christ crucified" (1 Corinthians 1:23).

​

​Doctrinal Fidelity l "But as for you, speak the things which are proper for sound doctrine" (Titus 2:1).​​

​

​Congregational Singing l "Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, with all wisdom teaching and admonishing one another with psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with gratefulness in your hearts to God."

​

​Elder-led Shepherding l "Be on guard for yourselves and for all the flock, among which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to shepherd the church of God which He purchased with His own blood" (Acts 20:28).

​​​

Dependent Prayer l "praying at all times with all prayer and petition in the Spirit, and to this end, being on the alert with all perseverance and petition for all the saints" (Eph 6:18).

​

​Meaningful Church Membership l "And the Lord was adding to their number daily those who were being saved" (Acts 2:47).

​​​

Committed Love l "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another" (John 13:34-35).

​​​

Undistilled Evangelism l “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation" (Mark 16:15).

​​​

Christ-ward Discipleship l "Go therefore and make disciples" / "Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple" (Matt 28:19 / Luke 14:27).

​​​

Focused Missions l "For this reason I left you in Crete, that you would set in order what remains and appoint elders in every city as I directed you" (Titus 1:5).
