Onsøy Church, whose present building dates from 1877, replaced a medieval stone church on the site, whose stones were used to build the new church. The architect, Henrik Thrap-Meyer, chose a neo-gothic design for the church.
Diemen, NL
Built as a Reformed Church, named Bethlehem Church. Beautifully situated, diagonally to the left behind the local Roman Catholic Church St. Petrus' Banden. Interesting interbellum church, with roof turret, easily recognizable as a design by architect Boeyinga. In the mid-2000s, this church building became the central church of the Protestant Church Diemen. This building was also named "De Ontmoeting". Despite major modernizations of the interior, the characteristic, interesting architecture by architect Boeyinga has remained largely intact.

The Reformed Western Church was built in 1932 at GJ van Heekstraat 338 in the Twekkelerveld district. This church was sold to the Reformed Church in 1967 and was then named Ontmoetingskerk. In 1983, the tower was demolished and the bell was placed in a belfry. When the Samen op Weg congregation was formed, the church was sold to the New Apostolic Church in 1989. In the autumn of 2004, the New Apostolic Church moved to Almelo and merged with the congregation in Almelo. The church building was sold and on 5 February 2005, the first service was held by the Acts Revival Church Enschede, a black African Pentecostal congregation with English and Dutch as the main languages. There is also a French-speaking Pentecostal church in Enschede. It meets in the Dutch Reformed Eastern Church from 1929. (53-05)
