In the early seventies of the twentieth century, the two churches of the New Apostolic Church in Hoogezand and Sappemeer were too small to accommodate the number of members. It was decided to build a third church in the new residential areas in the southwest of Hoogezand. The architect was WC van Asperen from Rotterdam. The church was put into use in 1972. In 1981, the church was partly destroyed by fire and put into use again in 1982. In 2010, the congregation was merged with the congregation on the Noordersingel in Hoogezand.

The wooden Moluccan church from 1963 was replaced in 1994-1995 at the same location Roerdompstraat 30 by the very beautiful Petruskerk, which was festively opened on 10 September 1995. The bell from the old church was moved to the new church. At the time, that bell was taken from the mother country to the Netherlands by the first generation of Moluccans who came to the Netherlands. The bell was stolen from the tower in early March 2007. Nothing is known about the motive and/or perpetrators. (58-07)
