Since May 24, 2015, this church, together with the Dutch Reformed Church, forms the "Protestant Community of Pesse".

Charming church building, with tower, in ± chalet style. Nicely preserved interior. As a Reformed Church (congregation) in the autumn of 2011 merged with the nearby historical Dutch Reformed Village Church (congregation), to form the local "Protestant community in Koudekerk aan den Rijn and Hazerswoude-Rijndijk". Since then, this church has been called "Ontmoetingskerk", and the Village Church has been renamed "Brugkerk". Both church buildings are still in active use. In January 2012, the centenary of this church building was festively celebrated. An anniversary book was also published on this occasion.

Built as Dutch Reformed Peace Church. Modern church with metal bell tower. Since 2013 the name of the church building is Ontmoetingskerk instead of Vredeskerk. This was due to the merger of the Reformed and Gereformeerde parishes. In ± 2013 the church was also extensively renovated. The bell tower has disappeared (see the difference in Images Exterior below).

Built in 1910 as the Dutch Reformed Church in the Julianadorp expansion district, south of Den Helder.

Around 1450, Ovezande became an independent parish. The church still exists: it is the current Protestant church. A few wall paintings from the original interior have been preserved. The old church was dedicated to the holy apostles Peter and Paul. There was also a separate altar in honour of the Virgin Mary. The church was owned by the chapter of St. Peter in Utrecht. The counts of Zeeland (and Holland) from the Burgundian and later Austrian House had the right to appoint the pastor, who also had to pay for it himself. The pastors rarely visited their parish. It was an honorary position for them, and they outsourced the actual pastoral care to a local priest who was in their service.
