Nice modern church with roof turret.

The Immanuel Church on the Schoemakerstraat in Delft is a church from the reconstruction period. The church was designed in 1958 by Frits Eschauzier. This architect paid a lot of attention to the interior and the wishes of the churchgoer.

The building, designed by architect BT Boeyinga in collaboration with architect A. Warnaar in Maasland, is a modern creation. Based on an elongated octagon, a floor plan was developed in which the pulpit is situated on a long side and the seats, partly ascending, are placed in a semicircle around it according to the central construction principle. A surrounding balcony or gallery is also present according to this principle.

The community was founded in 1918 on the other side of the Hollandse IJssel in Kralingseveer and a church was built in 1921. After the so-called Liberation in 1944, people from Krimpen aan den IJssel also went to church there. The number of parishioners from Krimpen from den IJssel grew strongly and in 1962 the church was moved to this side of the IJssel. At that time the church had a double name: Kralingseveer/Krimpen aan den IJssel. From 1975 the church experienced strong growth, partly due to the expansion of the civil municipality of Krimpen aan den IJssel. The green appearance of a rural village with many employment opportunities and the amenities of the big city within walking distance, made Krimpen an ideal place to live for many people. At that time (1976) the church building, the Immanuelkerk, was put into use and in 1990 expansion already appeared to be necessary. In 1997 we said goodbye to about 100 members in "Overijssel", they found shelter in Capelle Zuid/West. From that moment on we are called Reformed Church of Krimpen aan den IJssel.

Architecturally important modern church with tower in the Prins Alexanderpolder district. Built as the Dutch Reformed Church. This church was also temporarily used as the Reformed Church (GKV). A separate church building was later built for that denomination, near the Immanuël Church. Due to its special architecture, it was designated as a municipal monument in 2009.

The building plans for a church in the Corpus Den Hoorn district (Groningen) date from 1958. The design was by the architectural firm Haykens & Jansma from Groningen. The source of inspiration was the work of the architect Le Corbusier. Characteristics of this are the black jointed bands in the interior and exterior walls of the church (the 'belts around the church'), the narrow, high windows and the dimensions of the church hall. The construction was carried out by the construction company Meijering and Benus, commissioned by the Reformed Church of Groningen. The church was put into use on 9 April 1965. In 1990, the Chapel Church merged with the Immanuel Church. The chapel was a church building on the corner of the Paterswoldseweg and the Concourslaaan. In 1999, the Stadspark Church was closed and the congregation merged with that of the Immanuel Church. In 2001, the church was renovated again on the inside. In 1998, the youth building IKO was built behind the Immanuëlkerk and put into use. On 1 January 1993, the congregation of the Opstandingskerk (PC Hooftlaan) merged with the congregation of the Immanuelkerk. The building on the PC Hooftlaan was sold to the Vrijgemaakt Gereformeerde Kerk.
