Built as a Reformed Church. Modern church with tower. On January 1, 1998, the Reformed Church and the Reformed Church were federated. This also gave them two buildings: the old Dutch Reformed Church on Gruizenstraat and the much younger Reformed Johannes Church on Mgr. Vranckenstraat. The Johannes Church is the largest and is used weekly for church services. The much smaller Dutch Reformed Church is used for special services, for vespers, as a silence center, etc. In the summer of 2004, the Johannes Church was completely refurbished.

The Johanniskirche Magdeburg, a historic church and event venue, has a rich history dating back to the 10th century. It underwent destruction and multiple reconstructions, and now showcases a blend of modern and historical elements, including stunning stained glass windows.

The church was built in 1886, with John the Baptist being adopted as patron saint. Before this church was built, the inhabitants of Kilder had to rely on the St. Oswaldus Church in Zeddam until 1854 and on the St. Martin's Church in Wehl for thirty years after that. A central point in the parish, near the Hagelkruis of Kilder, was chosen as the location for the church. On 17 June 1886, the church was consecrated by the Archbishop of Utrecht, Petrus Matthias Snickers. The church was designed by Alfred Tepe in neo-Gothic style. Above the entrance, which is incorporated in the tower, there is a large pointed arch window. The tower is crowned with a spire and flanked by a staircase tower. There are several stained glass windows in the church. In front of the church, on the left, there is a statue of the Sacred Heart. To the right of the rectory is a statue of Mary Queen of Peace, which was donated by the parishioners on August 18, 1946 on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the parish and out of gratitude that Kilder was spared in the war. The church is a municipal monument, as is the adjacent rectory.

The parish of St. John the Baptist, with the church at the Haven as its parish church, grew so fast in the 1950s that the need arose in the Nieuwland expansion district to establish its own church building. Pastor AC van de Brekel was commissioned to build the new church in his parish on 30 July 1958. A temporary wooden church was placed in November 1958, after which plans were drawn up for the construction of a permanent building. Architect Johannes_Anthonius_Lelieveldt designed a modern cubist building with a freestanding tower. Under the raised chancel in the middle of the church was a small chapel, where masses could be celebrated when there were fewer churchgoers. Four concrete Evangelist symbols by artist Piet Killaars were placed on the facade of the church. In 1999, the church was decommissioned, after which it was demolished in 2000.

The Church of John's Lane is a Roman Catholic church whose construction began in 1862. The architects were Edward Welby Pugin and George C. Ashlin.
