Reconstruction church in traditionalist style, with a large tower to the right of the front facade. Refurbishment of the interior in 1992, during which the original pulpit was removed. Refurbishment of the interior again in 2009, during which, among other things, pews were replaced by chairs, and the liturgical centre (under the original organ) was further modernised.

The foundation stone was laid on 25 April 1953. In August 1972 it was decided to expand the church. The church hall was enlarged and in addition a large hall with a kitchen, a hall, a cloakroom and a toilet group was built. In 1973 the extension was put into use.

Reconstruction church with small tower. Reformed church until 2004, then Continued Reformed Church. As in six other local Reformed church communities, the members of the congregation in Garderen did not want to merge with the Protestant Church of the Netherlands (PKN), which was officially established in 2004. They wanted to remain independent. Since 2004, this church has therefore been called the "Continued Reformed Church". As of January 1, 2016, this is no longer a Continued Reformed Church, but a "regular" Reformed church. And in 2017, this congregation joined the PKN.

The Reformed Church of Oud-Vossemeer was established as the "Reformed congregation under the cross" on April 24, 1836. The name of the church was changed twice, namely in 1869 to the Christian Reformed Church and in 1892 to the Reformed Church of Oud-Vossemeer. In the more than 150 years of its existence, the congregation has had three buildings at its disposal. Since July 1851, people met in the "building for religions" and on July 10, 1871, a church building with a parsonage on the Achterweg, the current Hofstraat, was put into use. The church building was demolished in 1975 and on January 24, 1976, the current church building was put into use. The construction was partly made possible by the efforts of dozens of volunteers from the congregation. The first service was held on Christmas Day 1975.
