Maranathakerk

Extremely interesting, relatively large, reconstruction church with an important freestanding tower. Built as the Reformed Western Church, replacing an earlier building with the same name in the Eindhoven-Strijp district, on the Koenraadlaan. Shortly after it was put into use, in 1956, due to the construction of the 3rd Reformed Petra Church in Eindhoven-Stratum, it was renamed the Maranatha Church, at the same time as the older Reformed "Ooster Church" on the Fazantlaan, architect Tj. Kuipers, was renamed the Immanuël Church. In 1974 (in the context of ecumenical cooperation Samen op Weg) it was also used as the Dutch Reformed Church, after the demolition of the Dutch Reformed Schootse Church in the same Strijp district (this important Schootse Church was subsequently put into use, and is still in use, as a Christian Reformed Church). This Maranatha Church was decommissioned as the Dutch Reformed and Reformed Church in 1995; sold that year to, and since then in use by, the Pentecostal Church of Eindhoven, with the name "Maranatha Church" unchanged.
