Modern church without a tower in the eastern district of Kralingen.

Several renovations, the most recent in 1997, when the pulpit with large sounding board (visible in various images below) was removed and replaced.

The design of the church building (Plaats van Samenkomst) of the Apostolic Society on La Rivièrestraat in Hilversum is an exemplary example of a church design from the beginning of the Post 65 period. The architecture consists of a few flat-roofed brick boxes that housed the various functions of the building. The Great Hall, which also contains a balcony with seats, increasing in height, rises high above the other building parts. Next to the building is a separate brick chimney.

Modern building without tower.

On November 2, 2002, the first pile was driven into the ground for a new church of the Apostolic Society at the Weisshorn in the young Driehoeksbos district. The design was by ir. C. Eijkelenboom. The church at Bergmanstraat 76 no longer met the requirements. It was built in 1957 by BA Schinkel and renovated and expanded in 1976 by architect TC Bos. The current church building of the Apostolic Society is much larger than the previous building, beautifully and freely situated, and architecturally recognizable as a church building.

The old church from 1953 was demolished. In 2004, the current church was built on the same location. In 1954, a church was built for the Apostolic Society at Van Baerlestraat 130, designed by E. Bunders. A renovation took place in 1971 under the leadership of JD van Arkel. This building was demolished in 2004, after which a new church was built on the same location, designed by architect Martin Eijkelenboom of Terrena architects in Rotterdam. The new church was put into use on Sunday 26 June 2005. During the construction of the new church, church services were temporarily held in De Vonkenberg in Zwijndrecht. A striking feature of the new building, which seats 200, is the aluminium roof. The church has 53 stained glass windows, designed by church member Carla de Vries - van Westrenen. In the reception hall, there are two panels, composed of the stained glass windows from the old church. A new organ has been installed with 14 stops and almost a thousand pipes.
