Reconstruction church without tower. Replaced a church from 1887. Major renovation and extension in 1980-1982.

Around 1450, Ovezande became an independent parish. The church still exists: it is the current Protestant church. A few wall paintings from the original interior have been preserved. The old church was dedicated to the holy apostles Peter and Paul. There was also a separate altar in honour of the Virgin Mary. The church was owned by the chapter of St. Peter in Utrecht. The counts of Zeeland (and Holland) from the Burgundian and later Austrian House had the right to appoint the pastor, who also had to pay for it himself. The pastors rarely visited their parish. It was an honorary position for them, and they outsourced the actual pastoral care to a local priest who was in their service.

Built as the Dutch Reformed Church in the Eindhoven-Tongelre district, but from 1969 (after the closure of the Reformed Immanuel Church on Fazantlaan in the same district) also in use as a Reformed Church.

Charming church building, with tower, in ± chalet style. Nicely preserved interior. As a Reformed Church (congregation) in the autumn of 2011 merged with the nearby historical Dutch Reformed Village Church (congregation), to form the local "Protestant community in Koudekerk aan den Rijn and Hazerswoude-Rijndijk". Since then, this church has been called "Ontmoetingskerk", and the Village Church has been renamed "Brugkerk". Both church buildings are still in active use. In January 2012, the centenary of this church building was festively celebrated. An anniversary book was also published on this occasion.

The church, built in 1939 to a design by architect Van der Veen, replaced a church from 1869. In 1958 the building was expanded with a separate meeting room. In 1980 the church and the hall were connected. In 1997 the church was renovated. And the work completed in October 2007 finally made all parts one whole, especially in the interior of all rooms. The organ was also renovated. (59-08)
