WHY JOIN A CHURCH?
Joining a church is about a journey of discovery and NOT a celebration of a final arrival. As we travel, we learn about God and each other. We discover and wrestle with questions about our faith and God together.
If you’re not sure this is for you, then you’re already ready to take the next step.
WHY JOIN MIGHTY WIND?
We are a congregation of travelers who preach more with our lives than our mouths. We are a congregation of learners who don’t think we have all the answer but we worship a God who does. We are a congregation of servants who embrace our neighbors (local & global) at their places of deep hurt and desperate need.
HOW DO I JOIN THE CHURCH?
There is no wrong way to enter the life of the church. You might have entered through Sunday worship, small groups, Bible study, softball, outreach, gotten lost on a Sunday drive and stopped at church to ask for directions, or you may have heard the pastor was cute. The point is—you’re here and you want to consider a next step.
