Community founded around 1900, by members who withdrew from the Reformed Church. In 1903, a church building on the Noordstraat was occupied. This church building was expanded with a gallery in 1947. Because the growth of the church community continued, it was decided in 1952 to build a new building. On Friday 4 September 1953, the church building with 212 seats was put into use. Rev. W. de Wit led a special church service. He preached based on 2 Chronicles 7 verse 5b: "Thus the king and all the people have dedicated the house of God." Due to the growth in the number of tourists attending church services, the church building was expanded with a hall in 1972. 300 seats. In 1984, the organ was restored. Parts from the organ of the 'Vredekerk' in Katwijk aan Zee were used for this purpose.
