The Gereformeerde Gemeente building in Marknesse is a Reformed Church built in 1952.

The church of the Reformed Church on the Geldersedijk became too small and no longer met the requirements of the present day. New construction or renovation on that site did not seem attractive. A new church was built on the Mozartsingel, designed by Valk Architects in Soest. The last service was held in the old church on Sunday 23 June 2002. The opening service took place in the new church on Wednesday 26 June 2002. There is room for 1000 churchgoers. There are also four club rooms, a crèche, a church council room, a kitchen, a library and a mortuary.

At the beginning of the twentieth century, several people from Elspeet and the surrounding area left the Dutch Reformed Church. In 1914, these people formed a branch of the Reformed Church in Barneveld. On 10 September 1919, this branch became independent. In the same year, a simple church was put into use on the Nachtegaalweg. In 1938, a new church building was built on the same site. Due to the growth of the community and the many holidaymakers in the summer months, the number of seats was significantly expanded in both 1976 and 1993.

Nice reconstruction church with roof turret. The stained glass windows (glass artist Wim Korteweg, Dordrecht) are left and right in the front of the church.

The church community was founded around 1954 by former members who attended church in the Reformed Church in Barneveld. The first church services in Kootwijkerbroek were held in the rooms of the School with the Bible. On 25 November 1954, the church building was put into use. The number of seats was 300 at the time. In 1973, it was decided to build a new building behind the existing church building. The former church building was converted into a meeting room. On 31 July 1974, the new church building was put into use with 485 seats. The church building was replaced again in 1988 because it had become too small. On 9 March 1989, a new church building was put into use on the same site with 900 seats. However, the church community continued to grow, so that the church building was expanded again in 1997, the number of seats then came to 1350. The church building was expanded again in 2007, the number of seats then came to 1850.
