About Us

Welcome To The Family

We believe the choice of a place of worship is one of the most important decisions for any individual or family. The purpose of Crossroads Church is to guide people to a daily relationship with their creator and engage them in ministries to fulfill their Godly purpose.

Our church is located on 8 beautiful acres of blueberry fields off the Washington Junction Rd in Hancock, Maine.  Our building houses many things from a Sanctuary of Praise to a large fellowship hall and spacious Sunday School Classrooms.  At Crossroads Church, there is a ministry or department for every need and every age. We assure you that your visit will be fulfilling. You will experience the love of a friendly church and the powerful visitation of the Holy Spirit. We encourage you to join us in worship and allow God to change your life.

Mike Cox
Bishop

The Cox family arrived in Maine in February of 1989. Brother Cox served as Assistant Pastor for the next several years under the leadership and direction of Pastor John F. Churchill. He then became Associate Pastor from 1996 to May of 2002. In May of 2002, Brother Cox became the Pastor of Pentecostal Lighthouse. In 2008, with a renewed vision and burden for a church in the greater Ellsworth area, Pastor Cox began plans for the construction of what was to become Crossroads Church.  The project was completed in 2009 with our first service being held August 30, 2009. On April 30, 2022, Pastor Cox stepped into the role of Bishop where he will continue to guide the spiritual leadership of Crossroads.

Our Values

At Crossroads Church, we exist to connect people to the God who loves them. Our goal is to create an environment where you can find:

Love
We believe in a culture of love. Jesus told His disciples "they will know you are a follower of mine when you show love one to another".
Relationship
We value authentic relationships. This begins with God, with family, with church, and with our community.
Worship
We believe in expressive worship. - "Sing to the LORD! Give praise to the LORD! He rescues the life of the needy..."
Together
We do life together. We believe no one should worship alone, pray alone, cry alone, hurt alone, or rejoice alone.
Generosity
We believe it is an honor for us to give of our time, talent, and treasure to help further the kingdom of God. - "God loves a cheerful giver."
Evangelism
We boldly share the Gospel, believing every soul matters to God. - “Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.”
Faithfulness
We strive to remain faithful in every season. - “Moreover it is required in stewards, that a man be found faithful.”
Discipleship
We are committed to growing daily in our walk with God and helping others do the same.
Truth
We stand firmly on the unchanging truth of God’s Word, without compromise. We believe you should speak the truth in love.
PRayer
We pray without ceasing because prayer is our lifeline, our power source, and our daily connection with God.
Forgiveness
We forgive freely, because we’ve been forgiven much.
“Be ye kind one to another... forgiving one another...”
Excellence
We give God our best in everything—from worship to outreach to the smallest detail. - “And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men.”
Family
We value family & we’re not just a church — we’re an extended family. Every member is important and valued. You belong here.
Sacrifice
We willingly lay down our time, comfort, and desires to serve God’s will.
"...present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God...”
Unity
We are better together. We come from different backgrounds but worship as one. - "Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brethren to dwell together in unity!"
History

Our Journey

The history of Crossroads.

2008

Church Founded

In 2008, God spoke to Bishop Mike Cox about starting a church in Ellsworth. He began holding Bible Studies in a small chapel owned by Eugene Whitmore. Elder Whitmore would later donate the land our church now sits on to complete the vision for Crossroads.

2009

First Service in The new Building

Our first service in the new church building was held on August 30, 2009.

2009 - 2021

Continued Growth

Over the next decade Crossroads Church continued growing and striving to fulfill our mission of connecting people to the God who loves them.

2022

Pastoral Installation

At the end of 2021, Pastor Mike Cox felt it was time for him to step into the role of Bishop and complete the pastoral transition that had been in the works. On April 30, 2022 Pastor Cameron Cox was installed as the Senior Pastor of Crossroads Church.

If religion has left you high and dry, if you are looking for the truth and unconditional love of God, alive and active in the lives of His disciples; if you are depressed, disillusioned or in despair. Jesus Christ is risen and alive and well, and He will meet you there!!!

One thing I can say about this place, is they go out of their way to make you feel at home. My family and I moved to from Mass to Maine not knowing anybody and searching far and wide for a church to call home, just like the one back in Mass. The moment I walked into Crossroads , I knew this was the place.

I couldn't love this church more! 💝 Great worship, beautiful atmosphere filled with the Spirit, wonderful fellowship/amazing church family, and truly a home away from home. Not to mention the fantastic ministry team! 💝 So blessed to have found this church.

This is absolutely the best church to be. Between the great worship and the awesome leadership that we have here. I would recommend this church to anyone looking for a loving group of people to fellowship and worship God with!
