Reformed church building, cruciform church with small spire. Even before the war, attempts were made to create a new church building to replace the existing Reformed church from 1859. A new rectory was the result, but the war prevented further plans. The originally desired high tower was not permitted. In the end, it became a small spire. The executing architectural firm was F. van der Laan from Delfzijl, who also designed the 22 narrow stained glass windows. The opening took place on 24 June 1953.

In the sixties, the current church was built to a design by architect G. Steen from 1960. The new construction took place on the grounds of the old school. The work was carried out by construction company H. Westra from Franeker. The building was finally completed in 1966 under the architecture of the architectural firm Steen en Tuinhof. An illuminated cross was placed on the tower. On 31 January 1969, the renovated organ was put into use. In 1969-70, a new rectory was also built. In 1972, the building of the nursery school next to the church and the associated grounds were purchased. A parking lot was constructed on the grounds, while the building itself was rented to a music association. This situation still exists today. In 1986, major maintenance was carried out on both the church and the rectory. The remarkable elevator in the building, which connects the meeting rooms and canteen downstairs with the church hall upstairs, was installed at the end of the eighties.

The church has been in use as a Christian Church from its construction until now. For a number of years this was CGK/NGK. A multicultural mission church since 2004.

Architecturally interesting reconstruction church, because of the centralizing floor plan in the form of an irregular octagon. Remarkably late work in the oeuvre of BW Plooij.

In 1994 it fell out of use as a Reformed Church ("Synodal") and was sold to the Reformed Church Liberated. This church gave the building the name Kruiskerk. This church is listed as a Municipal Monument of the Netherlands.

Reformed Church and Tower, situated on a churchyard. The building, founded as a parish church, developed in the 13th century under the Canons Regular into a three-aisled church with a vaulted stone choir with clear features of the Romanesque-Gothic style. The tower of tuff stone was preserved from the oldest church, later raised in brick, as well as part of the west walls. The side aisles were removed after the Reformation, but were mainly rebuilt for static reasons during the restoration around 1958. The church has a carved pulpit with backsplash and sounding board, and parts of ten family pews processed into two gentlemen's pews. Fragments of vault painting. Bell tower with bell by J. Balthasar, 1662, diam. 119.5 cm. Mechanical wrought iron tower clock.
