Former Roman Catholic Maria Geboortekerk, in 2000 Reformed Church Liberated. The church building, which had fallen into some disrepair, was renovated at the time. The interior was slightly modified, with respect for the original architecture, including the original granite floor. Furthermore, the focal wall was changed, such as the artistically designed modern pulpit and baptismal font. On the left in the side wall is an artistically designed panel, which is "folded shut" during "Lent" and "folded open" again on Easter Sunday. On the left front on the side wall is an organ by the Gebr. Reil, Heerde, ao. 1963, renovated in 1983, with the console moved from the side to the front. This organ was therefore located in the previous church building of the Reformed Church Liberated. Once again extensively renovated, in connection with placement in the current building, by Pels & Van Leeuwen Kerkorgelbouw, Den Bosch, and put into use on 27 October 2001. Right above the entrance door of this complex is a memorial stone with the year 1962 and the name "Gereformeerde Kerk". Presumably this stone comes from the previous church building, and the name was added later. The members of this congregation of the Geref. Kerk Vrijgemaakt (Reformed Church) at a certain point, during a consultation about what to call their church building, declared themselves in favour of the official name "Gereformeerde Kerk" (partly because in the meantime the denomination "Gereformeerde Kerk" in 's-Hertogenbosch had already become "Samen op Weg", now PKN).

Built as the Reformed Church (Liberated) in Rotterdam-Delfshaven. Since the merger in 2023, NGK.

The Reformed Church (GKV) in Rotterdam Centrum is an interesting example of post-war reconstruction architecture. Although the building originally served as a GKV church, it is now known as the "Simonstraatkerk". It is a modernist church without a tower and is surrounded by modern high-rise buildings. In 2017, the church was restored, renovated and refurbished. Despite its inconspicuous appearance, the building has architecturally significant details that are characteristic of the post-war reconstruction period. It is a valuable piece of architecture that reflects the history and development of Rotterdam. During the restoration and renovation of the church, the GKV services were temporarily held in the Christian Reformed Rehoboth Church on the Noordsingel. This was a practical solution to provide the religious community with a place to live while their own church building was being renovated. It is interesting to see how this church, amidst modern high-rise buildings, has found and maintained its place in the city centre of Rotterdam. It emphasises the importance of preserving historically and architecturally valuable buildings in a constantly developing city.

Large modern round church, with a freestanding rectangular tower, containing two bells. This Roman Catholic church has also been used by the Reformed Church (Liberated) since 2000. In the autumn of 2010, this church building was officially sold to the Reformed Church (Liberated). The Roman Catholic St. Lidwina parish has merged with the Roman Catholic parish of St. Antonius van Padua, with a (beautiful) church on Wilhelminaplein in Best. The parish church of St. Lidwina (1965, L. de Bever), on Raadhuisstraat 209, was closed for Roman Catholic worship in the summer of 2009. From 2000, the Reformed Church (Liberated) held services in the Roman Catholic St. Lidwina church. Since the autumn of 2010, the building has officially only been used as the Reformed Church (Liberated), with the name "Lidwinakerk". In 2010, the church community decided to buy the Roman Catholic church building.

At the beginning of the eighteenth century, the first Jews settled in Hoogezand. Initially, they held their prayer services in a private home; it was not until 1810 that a synagogue was established in a house in the Kalkwijk. In 1854, a new building was put into use north of the Winschoterdiep, which, in addition to the synagogue, also housed a school, a meeting room and a teacher's house.
