In 1956, a new Mennonite Church was built in Amsterdam-Slotermeer at Arthur van Schendelstraat 17. The building was designed by Karel Sijmons. In 1957, Willem van Leeuwen installed a new organ in this church with two keyboards and sixteen registers. In 1969, the church building was sold to the Reformed Church Slotervaart/Osdorp, who took over the building including the organ. It was then named De Olijftak. In 1993, the church was closed for worship. The organ was sold to the Reformed Church in Sirjansland in 1996. De Olijftak has been in use as a Moroccan mosque since 2000. The organ was moved to Sirjansland by the firm Pels & Van Leeuwen. The organ was put into use on 11 February 1996. The organ was not changed during the move. However, the front was decorated with several wooden ornaments.

Small reconstruction church, built to replace a church destroyed during the war.

The church was originally dedicated to Saint Nicholas. Excavations have shown that there was a church before this church, probably more than one, because in addition to monastery bricks, a tufa stone called âlde Friezen was also found in the churchyard. These stones were used in church construction around 1100. There was a fire in the church in January 1970. An overheated stove in the middle of the church caused the roof to catch fire. This resulted in a large hole in the roof. The damage was then repaired using panelling and carpeting. This disrupted the acoustics in the church. During the extensive renovation of 2006/2007, some things were restored. The church is used by the Protestant Community of Tjerkgaast, Idskenhuizen and Sint Nicolaasga.

This church is listed as a National Monument of the Netherlands.
