Built as a Reformed Church in the east of Hilversum in 1964 - 1965. Modern church with austere concrete tower. In 1983 renamed Samen op Weg Ontmoetingskerk. Out of use as a church in 2000. Planned demolition 2005. Was not yet demolished in the summer of 2008, although demolition was still the ultimate intention at that time. Was temporarily used (or has been used) by Muslims. I (JvN) saw this church under construction from 1964 to 1965 as a Reformed Eastern Church. In the early 1980s, after the closure of the NH Maranatha Church, this church was given the name Ontmoetingskerk. It was also used for some time by a Full Gospel Church. After that, from 2005 onwards, this former church, pending the planned demolition, was used (or has been used) by Moroccan Muslims, especially in the ancillary rooms situated under the church hall (so not an official mosque). In 2010, the Moroccan Muslim community purchased the former church. After a large-scale renovation, the building was put into use as the Islamic Centre al Amal. Now, this Centre is an official Moroccan mosque.

Chapel of St. Theresa, convent and parish house.

On October 31, 2008, the new Al-Ansaar mosque and the association building of the Moroccan Social Cultural Association Delft on the Vulcanusweg were officially opened . The Moroccan community in Delft paid for a multifunctional and environmentally conscious new building in which the mosque and the association have their own place. The building does not look like a traditional large mosque; it is a transparent building with a lot of glass, intended to meet the outside world instead of excluding it. In addition to the prayer services, the many rooms in the building provide space for activities that vary from homework supervision, Arabic and Dutch lessons, debates, discussions and workshops to even cooking.
