Exoduskerk
Sommelsdijk, NL
In 1961, five residents of Middelharnis and Oude Tonge decided to investigate the possibility of founding a reformed evangelism, intended for those who did not feel at home in the environment of the Reformed Federation. These were mostly civil servants and teachers who had come from elsewhere to Goeree and Overflakkee. They were called "Overkanters". After much deliberation, the first service of the reformed circle De Oecumene was held on Sunday 9 December 1962 in the auditorium of the public mulo on the Koningin Julianaweg in Middelharnis.
