The Re-Open

The 4 Phase Re-Open Plan

Below you will find the 4 Phase Plan that CrossWinds is follow concerning the re-opening of Crosswinds. Check it out and share it with others. Also note that before we move into each phase we will be giving more specifics. We look forward to the day that we are able to come together and worship again.


The Re-Opening

SEPARATED

This past year will be one that we’ll remember. In less than three months our church, our community, and our world have been disrupted and changed in a way that nobody could have imagined. Let’s lean in to what God is teaching us right now and learn even more about how to live in tune with His Spirit.


BUT UNITED

In an effort to continue living out our mission as a church and care for those God has entrusted to us, we have prayerful put together a RE-OPEN plan. Every effort is being made to ensure that we are in harmony with our state and local leadership, CDC recommendations and the heartbeat of our church family.
