The Reformed Church of Oud-Vossemeer was established as the "Reformed congregation under the cross" on April 24, 1836. The name of the church was changed twice, namely in 1869 to the Christian Reformed Church and in 1892 to the Reformed Church of Oud-Vossemeer. In the more than 150 years of its existence, the congregation has had three buildings at its disposal. Since July 1851, people met in the "building for religions" and on July 10, 1871, a church building with a parsonage on the Achterweg, the current Hofstraat, was put into use. The church building was demolished in 1975 and on January 24, 1976, the current church building was put into use. The construction was partly made possible by the efforts of dozens of volunteers from the congregation. The first service was held on Christmas Day 1975.

Neo-Romanesque church with roof turret. Built as a Reformed church, protected by the State because of the single-manual organ that was made in 1821 by A. van Gruisen from Leeuwarden for a church that was still unknown. In 1920 it was moved to Donkerbroek by Bakker & Timmenga from Leeuwarden. The case and the mechanism were renewed on that occasion. In 1964 the company Gebr. Reil (Heerde) expanded it with a mixer. The company Bakker & Timmenga restored it in 1997.

Hall church, built in 1906 with round arch windows and short lower transepts. Small stone facade tower, crowned by pyramid-shaped spire. Interior changed in 1951. During a change to the interior in 1992, the pulpit from the construction period was replaced by a pulpit in the shape of the bow of a skûtsje.

Built as a Reformed Church in 1905. At that time it was a neo-Gothic church with a roof turret. In 1935 this church was renovated. Under the leadership of architect GJ van der Top the church was extensively renovated in 1959 and it looked like a new church, including a new small tower. In 1986 a youth cellar, a hall and a church council room were added. Between August and November 2002 the hall was greatly enlarged by filling the space between the church and the rectory. (49-03)
