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".

Reformed church

Reconstruction church with roof turret.

Characteristic Reformed church building with tower.

Neo-Romanesque church with roof turret. Built as a Reformed church, protected by the State because of the single-manual organ that was made in 1821 by A. van Gruisen from Leeuwarden for a church that was still unknown. In 1920 it was moved to Donkerbroek by Bakker & Timmenga from Leeuwarden. The case and the mechanism were renewed on that occasion. In 1964 the company Gebr. Reil (Heerde) expanded it with a mixer. The company Bakker & Timmenga restored it in 1997.

Reconstruction church with small tower. Reformed church until 2004, then Continued Reformed Church. As in six other local Reformed church communities, the members of the congregation in Garderen did not want to merge with the Protestant Church of the Netherlands (PKN), which was officially established in 2004. They wanted to remain independent. Since 2004, this church has therefore been called the "Continued Reformed Church". As of January 1, 2016, this is no longer a Continued Reformed Church, but a "regular" Reformed church. And in 2017, this congregation joined the PKN.
