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.

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.

In the sixties, the current church was built to a design by architect G. Steen from 1960. The new construction took place on the grounds of the old school. The work was carried out by construction company H. Westra from Franeker. The building was finally completed in 1966 under the architecture of the architectural firm Steen en Tuinhof. An illuminated cross was placed on the tower. On 31 January 1969, the renovated organ was put into use. In 1969-70, a new rectory was also built. In 1972, the building of the nursery school next to the church and the associated grounds were purchased. A parking lot was constructed on the grounds, while the building itself was rented to a music association. This situation still exists today. In 1986, major maintenance was carried out on both the church and the rectory. The remarkable elevator in the building, which connects the meeting rooms and canteen downstairs with the church hall upstairs, was installed at the end of the eighties.

The Kruiskerk in Amstelveen , located at Van der Veerelaan 30a, was designed by architect Ir. Marius Duintjer . The church was built in 1949 - 1950 by order of the Reformed Church and put into use on 11 May 1951.

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.
