What I Like About Eastwind
"When I first
came to Eastwind, it was like taking a breath of fresh air. Here, finally,
was a place where I could follow Jesus and encourage others to do the same
without manipulation, guilt trips, expectations, or pushing. For me, Eastwind
has been a safe place where I can explore my spiritual roots, address questions
I have always been afraid to voice, and grow beyond the spiritual boxes
I was trapped in. I have felt accepted for who I am whether I have been
in a place in my personal life where I could give a lot of myself, or in
a place where I could contribute nothing. I know Eastwind is not perfect
(if it were I wouldn't fit in) but it has allowed me the freedom to be myself,
grow in my relationship with God, and find an expression of service."

"Our family has been attending Eastwind for over four years and I
can honestly say that our involvement and membership at Eastwind has transformed
our lives. Pastor Mark and his team have helped us through some extremely
difficult as well as joyous times. They are always very authentic and real.
My relationship with Christ continues to grow and mature in a tangible way
through my involvement with the Eastwind family."
