In May 1969, the specifications and accompanying drawings for the joint church building, provided by architect D. Zuiderhoek in Baarn, were ready. In June 1969, the construction work was awarded to Bouwbedrijf Staartjes en La Grouw in Amsterdam. On 15 November 1969, the chairman of the construction committee, Mr. A.Th.L. van der Land, drove the first pile. The first delivery took place on 16 March 1971, so that the festive opening could be organised on 3 April. The construction of the church cost more than 1.4 million guilders (including inventory and land costs), 300,000 guilders in government subsidies were received, so that the churches each had to contribute approximately 380,000 guilders. The contribution of the Bim-Bam of 150,000 guilders has of course considerably reduced the burden on the churches.
