Crosswinds Extension sites are treated as new EFCA church plants or church replants. As such, they make use of church plant resources from the EFCA national and regional offices.
CrossWinds Church leadership sets growth goals for an extension sites. If they achieve that number, they are allowed to apply to CrossWinds church leadership to become a full-campus.
