Apostolisch Genootschap

Built as a Liberal Reformed Church. Small hall church with roof turret.

Dutch Reformed Church, called Kruiskerk, with attached consistory and youth building, built in 1957-1963 by order of the Church Council of the Dutch Reformed Community of Klazienaveen to a design by the Amsterdam architect H. Knijtijzer. The church's bell tower is situated in a defining position in the axis of the Van Echtenstraat. In 1955 Knijtijzer had designed the Dutch Reformed school and in 1957 the youth building. In 1959 Knijtijzer complemented the composition of school, youth building with the church. In 1966 the school had plans to expand. However, the school board found it unnecessary to bring in an architect from Amsterdam for a small expansion and asked the local architect J. van de Heiden. Knijtijzer did not agree with the design.

Initially the name was "Gereformeerde Kerk van Nieuw Dordrecht". At the end of 1938 a proposal was made to change this name to "Gereformeerde kerk van Klazienaveen". "Among the incoming documents at the meeting of 14 November 1939 a letter stating that the name change has been approved." At a meeting of 22 April 1891 in Nieuw Amsterdam there was a proposal: "with regard to the matter of Nieuw-Dordrecht the church council expresses the wish that, given the circumstances, it is necessary to establish an independent congregation". The church was initially given the name of Nieuw Dordrecht, because a brother wanted to build the church at cafe Lufting on the road from Klazienaveen to Nieuw Dordrecht.
