In the early seventies of the twentieth century, the two churches of the New Apostolic Church in Hoogezand and Sappemeer were too small to accommodate the number of members. It was decided to build a third church in the new residential areas in the southwest of Hoogezand. The architect was WC van Asperen from Rotterdam. The church was put into use in 1972. In 1981, the church was partly destroyed by fire and put into use again in 1982. In 2010, the congregation was merged with the congregation on the Noordersingel in Hoogezand.

The NAK had been holding its services for years in a renovated villa. It was in dire need of renovation. But it turned out to be cheaper to build a new church with 70 seats at De Vesting. And they started doing that in the summer of 2002. In July 2003, the new church in the new Woldmeenthe district was put into use. There are 75 seats and various side rooms. The old building, the Villa Botha, on the JH Trom Meesterstraat, had been in use since 1958. The new owner wants to use it as a home again. (48-02/50-03)
