The current building of the Reformed Church in Sliedrecht was built in 1931 and was put into use on 6 January 1932. The organ from the old church building was moved. This organ dated from around 1890. It was delivered in October 1890 by the Van den Bijlaardt company. It would not have been a new organ, but an old instrument, originating from a monastery chapel. When Valckx & Van Kouteren moved it to the new church, it was placed behind a new front, which was designed by the architect of the church building, Mr. Lengkeek. They also placed an independent pedal with two registers (Subbas 16' and Octaafbas 8'). The organ was put into use at the same time as the church. The in-house organist CA van Wijngaarden played it on this occasion. Mr. B. Meijer from Sliedrecht was the advisor for the move and renovation. In 1950, Willem van Leeuwen built a new organ. During the construction he used pipes from the previous organ. The front was also taken over. The organ was restored in 1991.

Interesting reconstruction church without a tower.

Built as a Reformed Church. Modern hall church with a detached tower, containing 3 bells. Weekend 4-5 February 2023, 2 bells were stolen from the tower, probably in the night from Saturday to Sunday. The Reformed Church on Rembrandtstraat (1962, A. van den Broek) was renovated on the inside in 2003-2004 and put back into use on April 25, 2004. A stained glass window was made. And a painting was placed in a corner of the church. On the left of the painting, the names of the deceased are written in a book and on the right is the book for the names of those being baptized. (At the moment, the names of the deceased are still in the minority, but that can change). In the middle of the painting, people are depicted on their way to "eternity".
