Getting Involved Fresh Wind Christian Community is devoted to raising up disciples to spread the good news of Jesus Christ. Church is so much more than a Sunday morning experience. Pastor Chuck ends every service with these words, It has been great worshipping God, but now it is time to go to church! We are intentional on living out our faith and loving people outside of the church walls. We know it takes time and prayer before one jumps into ministry but we pray that you feel right at home at Fresh Wind and can see how God is moving and working in our midst. We would love for you to be a part of what God is doing here and encourage you to get involved! Join a ministry to really get to know your church family and to make serving the Lord the main focus of your life. God has equipped each of us with talents and gifts that He wants to use to expand his Kingdom.
