Reaching our world requires creativity and sensitivity to the unique calling and vision of each individual. We realize that the only constant in our culture is change. We desire to be a church that lives at the epicenter of where darkness meets light. In order to reach the mosaics, and to touch lives, we must live in a constant state of change with an unchanging message. We embrace the arts as a way of impacting the culture we are a part of.

Many of us wander through life without direction or purpose. There are times when we strive to reach our potential only to discover it wasn’t our potential in the first place. We believe that God has given everyone of us a mission in life. This mission can be known and followed. The journey of following Jesus in our day-to-day lives is only part of that mission. There is something greater that we long to be a part of–and that cause that we will die for and live for is our mission. Keeping God at the center of our lives makes every aspect of our life sacred.

We were never called to do the work of the Kingdom alone. Community is the essence of God as seen in the Trinity, the chosen people, and the church. At Westwind, we value teamwork. We want people to understand that this entire organization from top to bottom is based on people teaming together to accomplish the mission of Christ.

Leadership is an influence process. When you engage in trying to influence the thoughts and actions of others toward a goal or accomplishment, you are attempting to lead. For Jesus’ followers, His first instructions were on how they were to lead. Jesus gave a very clear mandate that those who follow Him were to lead by acts of service. For a follower of Jesus, servant leadership is not an option, it’s a command. Empowering others to lead through serving them is our heart’s vision.
