Built as a Reformed Church in 1905. At that time it was a neo-Gothic church with a roof turret. In 1935 this church was renovated. Under the leadership of architect GJ van der Top the church was extensively renovated in 1959 and it looked like a new church, including a new small tower. In 1986 a youth cellar, a hall and a church council room were added. Between August and November 2002 the hall was greatly enlarged by filling the space between the church and the rectory. (49-03)

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.
