There are plans to decommission the church by 2025 at the latest by the Protestant Community Phiipinne-Sas of Gent-Sluiskil, which this church is part of, together with another church in Sluiskil due to the high costs of renovating the church. The church is also used as a daycare center.

Krimpen aan de Lek, NL
Built to replace the predecessor of this church, which was demolished in 1939. There is a whale on the tower of the church. This whale is a reminder of whaling, which was an important source of income for the village in earlier centuries. The bell from 1388 - elsewhere incorrectly mentioned as originating from Krimpen aan den IJssel - was damaged in 1940 and could no longer ring. The municipal authorities wanted to melt down the bell, but historians put a stop to that. The bell ended up in the Gouda museum, the Catharina Gasthuis. It has since been decided that the bell will return to Krimpen. The current bell was made in 1962 by Van Bergen in Heiligerlee.
