Modern complex, built by the Dutch Reformed and Reformed Churches together, in the large western new district of Veldhuizen.

The Open Hof dates from 1971. From the beginning, the Protestants and the Reformed went 'Together on the Way'. This was quite unique at the time and received a lot of attention in the press. In the mid-eighties, the collaboration had reached the point where in practice it was a truly federal church. The building underwent various adjustments over the years. Initially, separate rooms for young people were added. In 1994, the church hall was enlarged and raised to a light space with good acoustics. Finally, in November 1997, the new Nijsse organ was put into use, which crowned all this work. Since 1 May 2004, De Open Hof, together with other parishes in Soest, has been united into the Protestant Church of the Netherlands.

Built as a Reformed Church. No tower. Out of use at the end of 2008, after which it was drastically renovated until 2010 to become a new church for the Protestant Community of Oud-Beijerland, named "De Open Hof". This renovation can be considered new construction, so see also the separate object "De Open Hof", with a different official address. From the end of 2008 until September 2010, this community used the Thomas Church (built as a Reformed Church), which was decommissioned for religious services as of 19 September 2010. The Vierdag organ from 1972 in De Ontmoeting was put up for sale in 2007; the organ from the Thomas Church is now located in "De Open Hof".
