The Reformed Church of Oud-Vossemeer was established as the "Reformed congregation under the cross" on April 24, 1836. The name of the church was changed twice, namely in 1869 to the Christian Reformed Church and in 1892 to the Reformed Church of Oud-Vossemeer. In the more than 150 years of its existence, the congregation has had three buildings at its disposal. Since July 1851, people met in the "building for religions" and on July 10, 1871, a church building with a parsonage on the Achterweg, the current Hofstraat, was put into use. The church building was demolished in 1975 and on January 24, 1976, the current church building was put into use. The construction was partly made possible by the efforts of dozens of volunteers from the congregation. The first service was held on Christmas Day 1975.

The organ was built in 1951-1954 by the firm Mense Ruiter (Groningen). In 1970 the firm L. Verschueren (Heythuysen) restored it. The advisors were Chr. Hanegraaff and A. de Ru, on behalf of the Organ Building Advisory Committee of the Reformed Organists Association.

The foundation stone was laid on 25 April 1953. In August 1972 it was decided to expand the church. The church hall was enlarged and in addition a large hall with a kitchen, a hall, a cloakroom and a toilet group was built. In 1973 the extension was put into use.

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 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.
