This Nieuw Apostolische Kerk in Tweede Exloermond dates from 1973.

In the early seventies of the twentieth century, the two churches of the New Apostolic Church in Hoogezand and Sappemeer were too small to accommodate the number of members. It was decided to build a third church in the new residential areas in the southwest of Hoogezand. The architect was WC van Asperen from Rotterdam. The church was put into use in 1972. In 1981, the church was partly destroyed by fire and put into use again in 1982. In 2010, the congregation was merged with the congregation on the Noordersingel in Hoogezand.

Nice neo-Romanesque hall church without tower.

Former Restored Apostolic Church. Characteristic modern New Apostolic church building, with octagonal church hall.

The New Jerusalem Church in Emmeloord was built as a Reformed Church. Willem van Leeuwen delivered an organ in 1955. It was restored by Kaat & Tijhuis in 1982. The Mixture of the Main Work was changed by them from VI-VIII strong to IV strong. The church building has been in use as a PKN church since June 2006. The organ was overhauled in 2008. The Ruispijp IV strong of the pedal was replaced by a Roerquint 5 1/3', probably by the firm Kaat & Tijhuis, who also maintain the organ. A few years later, the Octaaf 2' of the Rugwerk and the Nachthoorn 2' of the Main Work were swapped.

Built as Dutch Reformed Church, replacing the earlier Badkapel, elsewhere in Scheveningen. Extremely important, monumental church building on the ground plan of a Greek cross, built in 1915-1916 to a design by W.Ch. Kuijper jr. The church has two large towers, placed in the armpits of the main nave and transepts. They are crowned by an octagonal structure with helmet-shaped copper roofs. A small dome-shaped crowning on the crossing. Striking entrance with arcades, the arched theme of which recurs in various places in the building. Very large windows in the gables of the four arms, provided with traceries in natural stone and brick. They contain stained-glass figurative glass. The wooden roofs are provided with decorative painting on the inside. In addition to the organ gallery, the church has deep galleries with ascending pew arrangement in the other three naves. The benches on the galleries date from the construction period, those on the ground floor were replaced later. Many interior components from the construction period were preserved; the baptismal fence and church council benches have disappeared. In 1989, new liturgical furniture was placed around the pulpit, the design of which was adapted to the pulpit.

Interesting, functional, large reconstruction church, with a high freestanding tower, containing about 10 bells. Like the Old Church, the New Church is used by a Reformed parish with a Reformed Bond signature.

Interesting interbellum church with a tower placed on the side. Built as the Dutch Reformed Church. This church building looks very much like the (still existing) Dutch Reformed New Church in Huizen.
