The Reformed Church in Oud-Beijerland was founded around 1929 by members who had previously been members of the church in Nieuw-Beijerland. The members used a small church hall in the Boterhof. On 5 October 1936, the members decided to have a church building built between the Oost-Voorstraat and the Prins Hendrikstraat (later Wilhelminastraat). The church building was put into use in 1937. In 1954, a portal was added to the front of the church building. In 1970, it was decided to thoroughly renovate the church building due to the growth of the congregation. The extended church building was put into use on 18 February 1971 and then had 450 seats. In 1978, it was expanded with meeting rooms. In 1995, the decision was made to build new. Due to objections from local residents, construction could not begin until 1999. The new church building was put into use on 10 September 2000.

Reformed church

Characteristic Reformed church building with tower.

This reformed church on the Utrechtseweg in Renkum was put into use on 8 August 1928. The first stone had been laid the year before, on 2 December 1927. The building served as a replacement for a church from 1889 on the Molenweg. Design sketches date back to 1925 and were published as intended for a church in nearby Oosterbeek. It is likely that this is the same church. These sketches were much more daring and are much more in line with the expressive Amsterdam School than the final result. Due to war damage, the building is no longer original in all places and some additions have been made to the rear.
