The church, which is characterized by a Swiss-style with gable-shaped windows, is apparently not half-timbered but built in half-timbered construction with exterior and interior panelling. The architect is unknown, but the builder is Ludvig Karlsen from Stokken.

After much deliberation, the first service of the reformed circle De Oecumene was held on Sunday 9 December 1962 in the auditorium of the public mulo on the Koningin Julianaweg in Middelharnis.
