Explore Religious Heritage Across Europe

The Dutch Reformed Evangelism on Reformed Foundations in Haastrecht was founded in June 1933, when the Association of Reformed Religious Teachers began holding sermons in an inn. Due to the unsuitability of the location, another one was sought, and soon the members of the Religious Teachers Association preached twice on Sundays in the Concordia building. Attendance grew steadily, and in December 1933 it was decided to appoint Mr. G. de Pater, Religious Teacher in Gouderak, to make house calls and give catechism. He was able to devote his energies to our congregation until well after the war. For example, he founded the magazine 'Om Sions Wil' to raise money for Evangelism. After Mr. de Pater, Mr. Stolk, Rev. Verwelius, Rev. Cuperus, Mr. LD Burger, Rev. GH van Kooten were mentors of our congregation. From October 2000 to May 2014, Rev. LD Burger was again the congregation's mentor. In May 2014, he was succeeded by Rev. J. Blom from Ridderkerk.

The Hervormde Kerk is a Protestant place of worship dating from 1939.

The church organ was built in 1976 by the firm Gebr. Reil (Heerde).
