Ebeltoft Church is first mentioned in 1458, but is then simply called a chapel. During the archaeological investigations carried out during the restoration in 1983, however, mine found coins dating from the 13th century, and foundation remains under the church's two eastern subjects show that even before the city in 1301 received market town rights, there has been a somewhat smaller church in four subjects with a narrower choir and a nave in its present width.

Created around 1920 when a few people gathered to read sermons. This led to the creation of an Old Reformed Church as they called it. In 1929 the current church building was completed. The building plot was made available by two members living next door to each other who had both come up with a name for the church building. In order not to disappoint either of them, both names were added to the facade. In 1942 the members decided to join the Reformed congregations. As such it was instituted on 29 January 1946. In 1980 the interior was renovated and in 1992 it was decided to enlarge the church hall. The church was put into use on 16 June 1993 with 104 seats.

The Christian Reformed Church in Drachten was founded in 1909. In 1911 a church was built at the Oosteinde, now the Zuiderdwarsvaart (see inv. nos. 13 and 15). The foundation stone was laid in March of that year by Rev. M. Koomans. In the early sixties of the twentieth century Drachten experienced a stormy growth, which also had an effect on the membership of the Christian Reformed Church. The church became too small and it was decided to build a new church at Houtlaan 27. The architect was H. Geels. The foundation stone was laid on 26 March 1965 and in the same year the church could be put into use. The church continued to grow and it was decided to expand the building by means of a major renovation with a number of facility rooms, and to enlarge the church hall to over six hundred seats. All this was realized in 1978 - 1979. The whole was designed by architect Van der Tas. The church hall was turned a quarter turn, so that the pulpit was placed against a wall with windows. Panels were placed in front of the windows, on which Cor Monsma, a member of the congregation, painted a scene that can be considered an expression of the story of creation (inv. no. 10). The church is a typical post-war Reformed church building. It is large, square and high, and not very noticeable from the outside, especially since the tower is of modest dimensions. Furthermore, there are (since the renovation of 1978 - 1979) a large number of ancillary rooms (meeting rooms, rooms, kitchen, etc.), in which the Christian Reformed association life of the almost eight hundred members (including approximately 375 professing members) takes place. The use of the buildings is so intensive that space is rarely rented out to third parties. The parsonage is located at Houtstraat 27, wedged between the church and one of the (later purchased) outbuildings, a former house. The location of the church is strategically excellent: in the middle of the village and adjacent to a large public car park.
