Modern church without tower.

Meeting center Het Lichtpunt in 1989 in the north of Eindhoven.

Modern church without a tower. Built as the Reformed Church (Liberated), after the merger in 2023 NGK.

The church was built in the middle of an almost vacant lot near the corner of Burgemeester Röellstraat and Slotermeerlaan , in the middle of a number of (Catholic) emergency schools. The address was Noordzijde 42. It was designed in 1954/1955 by the architect MJ Granpré Molière.

Built as a Reformed Church, replacing the former Roman Catholic Maria Chapel elsewhere in the city centre, which was previously used as a Reformed Church.

The Meeting Centre is detached on a site on the Bospolderstraat, corner Vijverzicht. Seen from the Bospolderstraat, the church is on the left on the water. This water runs all the way to the back of the church. The complex includes a church hall that can be divided into two unequal parts with a folding wall. At the back of the church is a raised section that can also be added to the church. There are also a large number of halls and a sacristan's house. Behind the church is a courtyard that functions as a garden for the sacristan. The design for the Meeting Centre came from the architectural firm Swaneveld & Goslinga in Rotterdam. The costs of construction and furnishing were estimated at fl. 425,000, an amount that could not be exceeded. This amount turned out to be insufficient and eventually a maximum construction price of fl. 500,000 was agreed. The first pile was driven on 13 December 1968 and the church was put into use on 28 January 1970. In 1983 the building was expanded and adapted, including the enlargement of the church hall, the addition of a new church council room and the installation of a second entrance. The total cost of this amounted to fl. 800,000. The organ was also moved and expanded on this occasion. In 1988 a fire broke out in the Lower Hall. The damage was extensive but the Meeting Centre as a whole was not threatened.
