At the end of December 1901, the Evangelical Lutheran community of Naarden-Bussum was founded, at that time still part of the main community of Weesp. Previously, since 1640-1645, a Lutheran community had existed in Naarden, which, however, went out of business during the nineteenth century. In 1912, the newly founded community became independent. Initially, they had worshipped in the Concordia building in Bussum. However, they wanted their own church building at a central location between Naarden and Bussum, and so a piece of land was purchased, located between the Mecklenburglaan and the Brinklaan. A new church was built on this in 1903, designed by architect Nierop from Maartensdijk. The contractor was Mr. Jurriaan from Naarden. The building was consecrated on 12 April 1903. The church was in its original form a cruciform church in Gothic style with an apse on the Brinklaan side, a roof turret at the crossing and a vaulted ceiling inside. The building blended harmoniously into the surrounding residential area.

New neoclassical facade and demolition of tower in 1837.

Important "hidden church" without a tower. The Reformation began in 1517 with the nailing of Luther's theses to the door of the castle church of Wittenberg, but it was not until around 1566 that a Lutheran community was established in Breda. The community consisted largely of people of German descent. For a long time, they had a hidden church on the Nieuwstraat. In 1777, the community bought a house on the Veemarktstraat, called 'Repos Ailleurs'. It was a large house with a forecourt. In 1786, the Lutheran church was consecrated in the renovated mansion. Two houses had been built on the forecourt so that the house could only be reached through a gate from the Veemarktstraat. It is the only still functioning hidden church in Breda. In 1838, the church was thoroughly renovated. The pointed arch windows that are visible from the inner courtyard were also installed then. The church was restored in 1966-1967.
