Southwind Christian Center was started on Dec. 31, 2000. It provides a casual church environment, which simply means to come as you are. We do not want clothes to stand in the way of people who need God.

Southwind Christian Center has great musicians that provide a variety of music. Why? Because we feel God enjoys all types of music. We Praise and Worship God on every type instrument possible and in every way possible. There is freedom to worship at Southwind Christian Center.
