The Dutch Reformed Church of Boornbergum was built in 1734. The church was built on the foundations of a predecessor made of tuff stone, the bell tower with saddle roof of which had partially collapsed on 5 December 1733. The current church building is of the hall church type. Its interior includes several centuries-old gravestones, a 17th-century pulpit, a copper baptismal bowl made in 1614 and an organ built in 1925 by the Leeuwarden firm Bakker en Timmenga.
The church of Kortehemmen probably dates from the thirteenth century. The church has a sober character, both inside and out. The pulpit is from the Renaissance. Next to the church is a belfry from the eighteenth century.
In the church under the organ gallery hangs the certificate of the union of the Reformed Church and the Reformed Church, September 17, 1997, when the Samen op Weg community Via Pacis - the way of peace - in Beetsterzwaag was called Olterterp. Now the Protestant community Via Pacis. This church is still regularly used for evening services and special services. The community holds the morning services in De Ontmoetingskerk (the former Reformed Church).
