Organizations

: Crossroads United Methodist Church (Mesa County, Colorado); According to Edith (Burns) Strain, the church was founded as the Methodist Episcopal Church at Clifton (of which Strain was a member). The church was organized in 1906 and the first church building was constructed at 4th Street and Grand Avenue in Clifton in 1907. The church was dedicated by Methodist preacher and governor Henry A. Buchtel. Because the foundation of the original church building was sinking, a new building was constructed and dedicated at 599 30 Road in Fruitvale in 1966. At that time, the church was rechristened as the Crossroads United Methodist Church. Several renovations have been made to the building over the years, but it still houses the church. *Some information in this history comes from the Crossroads United Methodist Church website.
