Architecturally interesting reconstruction church, because of the centralizing floor plan in the form of an irregular octagon. Remarkably late work in the oeuvre of BW Plooij. Built as the second Reformed Church of Meppel, after the older Reformed Church on the Groenmarkstraat, which was then called the "Oude Kerk". In 1994 it fell out of use as a Reformed Church ("Synodal") and was sold to the Reformed Church Liberated. This church gave the building the name Kruiskerk. This church is listed as a Municipal Monument of the Netherlands.

Modern church with an interesting roof turret, which comes from the earlier, demolished Reformed Church.

Until 1965, this church was simply called "Gereformeerde Kerk". A second Reformed church was named "Laanstraatkerk"; it was demolished in 1962. After the Opstandingskerk was put into use, early 1965, this older church was named "Kruiskerk". In 1965-1966, an internal renovation took place that was not very successful, including new pews and a new pulpit under the organ. Due to the demolition of the Opstandingskerk in 1995, the name of this older church was changed again to "Paaskerk". The symbolism in terms of naming over time is clear and logical. In 1995-1996, a more rigorous refurbishment and modernisation of the interior took place again, in which the visual axis on the liturgical centre was turned 180 degrees, so with the (maintained, good) organ at the back. The exterior of this church, in which the extension from 1904 can be reasonably distinguished, has remained almost completely intact and very interesting despite the various internal renovations.

Interesting interbellum church, designed by the famous architect FB Jantzen. Renovated and expanded in 1985.

Late neo-Gothic church with tower. This church replaced a neo-church from 1859 that had become too small, the "Oude Kerk" (Old Church) that was demolished in 1930. The original name of this interbellum church with tower was "Dorpskerk". Later, probably in the context of "Samen op Weg", the church name was changed to "Kruiskerk".

The Kruiskerk is a church of the Protestant Community of Marum built in 1926.
