This also gave them two buildings: the old Dutch Reformed Church on Gruizenstraat and the much younger Reformed Johannes Church on Mgr. Vranckenstraat. The Johannes Church is the largest and is used weekly for church services. The much smaller Dutch Reformed Church is used for special services, for vespers, as a silence center, etc. In the summer of 2004, the Johannes Church was completely refurbished.
