How we view truth determines how we view and interact in our world. Our everyday lives revolve around what we know as truth. At Westwind, our foundation for truth is the Bible. Our basis for faith and everyday living is the Bible. We believe it is the complete Word of the everlasting God and is without error or fault. The Bible will be our foundation for teaching, worshipping, celebrating, and living. In it, we find God’s direction for life and faith. It gives us purpose and meaning. What is truth? God’s Word is truth.

Our spiritual lives do not happen in a vacuum, void of other relationships. We are designed to have life-on-life connections with others. These connections only work when we are real with each other—sharing our whole beings. This demands that we embrace our imperfections, and those of others, and seek to bridge the flawed to get to the holy—our relationship with Christ.

We live in a changing world, which needs change as well. At Westwind Church we seek to be relevant in the method in which we communicate the story of God. Though the message stays the same, there are many ways to express it. In a changing world, relevance seeks to meet the needs of those who long for a new way of hearing the story, without changing it.

God yearns for conversation with us. Nothing of eternal value is accomplished apart from prayer. Prayer is a tremendous force in this world. There are those who believe in prayer that don’t believe in a personal God. Why? We believe that prayer was planted in our hearts to connect us to the God of the Universe. We are created with a desire and passion to communicate with the one who created us. His passion is to connect with us on a very intimate level—and that requires heart-to-heart communication. This communication is prayer. As a result, we pray all the time, about everything: great and small, known and unknown, specific and general, by ourselves and in groups, because we know that this is what connects us to the very heartbeat of our God.
