Large modern church building with small tower.

On the Maasdijk , the church of the Reformed Church was put into use on 1 November 1928. Due to the unfavourable location, lack of meeting space and parking problems, it was decided to build a new church on another site. On 9 July 1986, the new church at Dorpsweg 6 could be put into use. And its extension was opened on 18 October 2001. (47-02)

After the Secession of 1834, there were also people in Rilland who no longer wished to remain members of the Dutch Reformed Church. They then held meetings in various places. Around 1865, the congregation in Rilland was instituted. After meeting in homes and farms for many years, the congregation acquired its own building in 1875. It was a former school building on the corner of Adriaan Butijnweg and Valckenisseweg. After the congregation grew and no expansion was possible, a piece of land was purchased in 1889 at Zandbaan (the current Swaanhilstraat) to build a new church building there. In 1928, the church building was expanded with a consistory room. In 1952, a gallery was added to the church building. In 1957, the front facade of the church building was renovated. In 1965, new pews were installed in the church building, while in 1969 the pulpit and lectern were renovated.

The church of the Reformed Church on the Geldersedijk became too small and no longer met the requirements of the present day. New construction or renovation on that site did not seem attractive. A new church was built on the Mozartsingel, designed by Valk Architects in Soest. The last service was held in the old church on Sunday 23 June 2002. The opening service took place in the new church on Wednesday 26 June 2002. There is room for 1000 churchgoers. There are also four club rooms, a crèche, a church council room, a kitchen, a library and a mortuary.

At the beginning of the twentieth century, several people from Elspeet and the surrounding area left the Dutch Reformed Church. In 1914, these people formed a branch of the Reformed Church in Barneveld. On 10 September 1919, this branch became independent. In the same year, a simple church was put into use on the Nachtegaalweg. In 1938, a new church building was built on the same site. Due to the growth of the community and the many holidaymakers in the summer months, the number of seats was significantly expanded in both 1976 and 1993.
