Interesting reconstruction church. Around 1910, the Reformed in Papendrecht were dependent on the surrounding areas. In 1913, the first church, which was then located on the Veerweg, was put into use, after which independence followed in 1919. The church community had to deal with war, internal strife and the flood disaster, among other things.

After the previous church building had become too small, a new church building was put into use on 15 September 1953 on the Doormanstraat with 500 seats. In 1991, two new meeting rooms were built. The church building was also given a name. The Moriakerk was renovated in early 2006 and put back into use on Sunday 19 February 2006.

The church with the ekklesionym Agia Paraskevi is located just a little east of the former centre of Morphou in the neighbourhood of the same name. The church was built in the years 1880-1885. The bell tower can be found in the south-eastern corner. After 1974, the church was converted into a mosque with the name "Güzelyurt Ramazan Cami".

The church of Agios Georgios is located in the north-western area of Morphou near Agios Mamas. The building was erected in 1922 and the bell tower was added in 1931. The church has a single nave cross vault with an apse and external pillars. The bell tower is located at the southeast corner. The building has Gothic elements. Today the church is used by the GASAD (Association of Amateur Artists).

The Cathedral Church of Agios Mamas is located in the north-western part of the old town of Morphou. As Hadjichristodoulou illustrates, it is of the so-called Franco-Byzantine type, combining a Gothic three-aisled basilica with a Byzantine dome. The church, built in the 16th century, stands on the ruins of two early Christian and one mid-Byzantine church. The present church tower was added only in 1900. Restoration work was carried out with support from USAID in 2018. Today, the church is used as a museum.
