Extensions in 1991 and 2006. The Reformed Church was established here in May 1924. On 19 September 1924, a small church was put into use, the Elim Church at Langeweg 61. On 11 September 1976, the foundation stone was laid for a new and larger church. The architect was M. van Dijk from Hendrik Ido Ambacht, who had also built the Petra Church of the Reformed Church in his hometown. In the design for the Elim Church, you can see a similarity between the architect's style and the Petra Church in Hendrik Ido Ambacht. A gallery was added in 1990. Under the leadership of architect J. Fierloos, a major extension was started in the summer of 2005. Temporarily, church services were held in a shed on Spoorstraat. This proved necessary because the church building had become too small again and an extension was again necessary. The church hall was expanded with 400 seats and the number of side rooms was increased from 4 to 6. The expanded church was put into use on 24 November 2006. On Friday evening 22 June 2007 the old organ, but expanded by the Nijsse company, was put into use. The following Saturday there was an open day.

In the new Kernhem district, a Protestant (formerly Dutch Reformed) church has been built. The church is called Kruispunt and was put into use on 19 December 2004. It has room for 120 churchgoers. The building previously served the NH De Voorkamp in the Rietkampen district and was therefore moved and rebuilt in the Kernhem district.
