On 11 December 1913, 'De Gereformeerde Kerk te Nieuwlande' was instituted. On 8 June 1914, the first stone was laid and in August of that year 'Eben Haëzer' was put into use. The well-known reformed resistance fighter Johannes Post hid people in hiding in this church during the Second World War. The hiding place can still be seen. The Stichting Het Drentse Landschap will investigate whether the church can be preserved in some way. Nieuwlande played a special role in the war and received a Yad Vashem award for it. Of course, Nieuwlande wants to keep that past alive. 'The new destination for the reformed church in the village can play an important role in this'. It is not without reason that the church is located on the Johannes Poststraat.

Modern church without tower. Extensions in 1985 (including a new entrance) and 2000. The Reformed Church of Ermelo was founded around 1923. An old school building was purchased to hold church services there. After initially only holding services during the week, it was decided in 1962 to hold Sunday church services. From 30 June 1963, church services were held in the 'Hervormd jeugdgebouw' on the Beekweg in Ermelo. This is more centrally located for visitors. In 1970, the decision was made to have a church building built on the Hanengewei. The church building was officially put into use by the congregation on 2 July 1971. In 1984, it was decided to build a new building and to use the existing church building as a meeting room. On 19 December 1985, the church building was put into use, with 500 seats.

Initially the name was "Gereformeerde Kerk van Nieuw Dordrecht". At the end of 1938 a proposal was made to change this name to "Gereformeerde kerk van Klazienaveen". "Among the incoming documents at the meeting of 14 November 1939 a letter stating that the name change has been approved." At a meeting of 22 April 1891 in Nieuw Amsterdam there was a proposal: "with regard to the matter of Nieuw-Dordrecht the church council expresses the wish that, given the circumstances, it is necessary to establish an independent congregation". The church was initially given the name of Nieuw Dordrecht, because a brother wanted to build the church at cafe Lufting on the road from Klazienaveen to Nieuw Dordrecht.
