Waterford Methodist Church will become a new campus of Crossroads Church.
Crossroads Church and the historic Waterford Methodist Church are merging to create a stronger, more vibrant place of worship and community engagement.
This decision comes after months of thoughtful consideration and heartfelt conversations between the leadership and members of both churches.
By merging our resources, talents, and passions, we are confident that we can enhance our collective impact on the Waterford/Fredericktown community.
Join us for our Opening Service on Sunday, September 10th!
Join us for service at 10am and a celebration with bounce houses and a potluck following the service!
Meet your Pastors!
Common Questions
We know visiting a new church is hard. We want to remove some guess work, and help you feel prepared for your first experience with us!
- Where do I go? “One Church…Many Places” means that we are one church that meets in several locations (we call them campuses), as well as online! You can join us in Mansfield, Ontario, Shelby, Waterford/Fredericktown or on our Online Campus.
(Check above for service times and directions!) - What should I wear? We’re pretty casual! Come as you are, whether you like dressing up for church or prefer t-shirts. Our Pastor typically wears jeans!
- When should I arrive? We recommend arriving 15 minutes early. This will give you plenty of time to park (find our New Here parking up front!), check in kids, stop by our New Here kiosk, and grab a cup of coffee before service.
- What is a service like? Our services typically run close to 75 minutes. We start with worship and then have a message. Our worship style is contemporary and our preaching is always biblical (we love context and digging into a passage of scripture!)
- Do I need to bring a Bible? You are welcome to, but if you don’t, we’ve got you covered. Bible passages will be on the screen so that you can follow along, and there will also be Bibles available in the seat in front of you (you’re always welcome to take that home with you, if you don’t have one!)
- Where do my kids go during service? We have Crossroads Kids available for Newborn-5th graders during all services (except the 9am Classic Service in Ontario). Check the Kids & Teens FAQ tabs below to learn more!
Crossroads Kids! We have kids services available during all contemporary worship services at all campuses.
Kids Newborn – 5th Grade are welcome! We’ll have age-appropriate lessons and activities to help your kids learn about Jesus while also making friends.

We would love for you to get connected! Here are a couple ways you can meet new people and find your place here at Crossroads:
- New Here? Stop by our New Here kiosk in the lobby! We’ll help you find ways to get connected, including an invitation to one of our “Connect Events.”
- Join us for a class! Growth Track is a set of classes where you can take your next step in getting to know Crossroads and in getting to know Christ on a deeper level. Crossroads 101 is the best place to start! We always have a Crossroads 101 class coming up. Sign up for the next one here!
- Join a Community Group! Communities launch a new semester 3 times a year, and there are always so many opportunities to get plugged in! Find out more here.
- Join a serve team! Volunteering is not only a great way to serve the church, it’s also a great opportunity to make friends and be a part of a team. Let us know you’re interested in serving here!
- Come to First Wednesdays! Every first Wednesday of the month, we have a worship and prayer night at our Ontario Campus at 7pm. Full children services are available so you can bring the whole family!
