The Crosswinds Foundation was established to assist those who are interested in engaging the cultural shifts that are occurring in our world. Our mission can be expressed in three words:
- Inform
- Instruct
- Influence
Dramatic shifts are occurring in many areas of our society due to cultural influences. In fact, these “cultural crosswinds” are impacting our nation’s most important institutions; including: the family, education, government, and matters of faith and spirituality, including the church.
The strength some have to alter beliefs, practices, and values is dramatically evident. Others are more subtle, causing a gradual shift that is not so apparent. To ignore either is comparable to a ship allowing its direction of travel to be changed, rather than taking the action needed to stay on the correct route.
Similarly, the course our Nation was established upon, and guided by – Christian faith, beliefs, and principles – is being battered by “cultural crosswinds”. The Crosswinds Foundation for Faith and Culture was formed as a resource to provide Christians and other interested individuals with the information and training necessary to recover our historic-course by effectively engaging the culture with the message and hope of Jesus Christ.
Concerning God: We believe in the Holy Trinity, that there is but one God, who exists eternally in three persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
Concerning Man: We believe that all have sinned and fallen short of God’s plan and are in need of being brought into right relationship with God.
Concerning Salvation: We believe salvation is from God alone, accomplished by the completed work of Jesus Christ. It is applied to mankind, not on the basis of individual merit, but by the grace of God through faith, alone, apart from any works of man.
Concerning Jesus: We believe Jesus is the eternal Son of God, born of a virgin; and, who lived a perfect life and gave that life on the cross as a sacrificial atonement for those who would trust him for salvation.
Concerning Scripture: We believe the Bible is the word of God; given through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. We believe the Bible to be without error in the original manuscripts, and that it is infallible, and is authoritative in all matters of faith and practice.
Concerning Christ’s Return: We believe in the visible and bodily return of Jesus Christ, at a time appointed by, and known only to, God; and, that Jesus Christ will judge all mankind and receive His people to Himself.
