In 1962, the church council of the Reformed Church in the centre of Rotterdam decided to consider building a church building in the new district of Rotterdam, 'Prins Alexanderpolder'. The first church services were held in 1965. The Reformed Church was allowed to use the Immanuëlkapel on the Berlagestraat. The first church service was held on 5 September. From 1967, the church used the Reformed 'Verrijzeniskerk' . In 1967, the decision was made to build its own church building with 600 seats. By adding halls to the church hall, an additional 240 seats could be created. According to the aesthetics committee, the church building should not be conspicuous and should not be a defining feature of the surroundings. It also had to have a flat roof. The church building was put into use on 13 June 1971.
