Nice modern church with a defining tower, and among other things a beautiful colorful window. Built as a Reformed church. Out of use as a Reformed or PKN church in 2006, sold to the Christian Reformed Church. After a renovation in 2007, it was put into use by the Christian Reformed Church Leiden, which then left its Resurrection Church on the Steenschuur in the center of Leiden. Since then, the Liberation Church has been called "Resurrection Church".
