In January 2005, construction began for the Centrum district on a new PKN church (formerly NH) on the corner of Krommeweg/Laan van Welhorst. The Centrum district started in the De Schoof school. That was demolished and the De Schoof shopping centre is now located there. After that, the GK could be used until it grew so much that double services were held and there was no more room for the Centrum district. The Centrum district now holds church services in the Dorpskerk. The new church is expected to be ready in January 2006. Then the Dorp district can once again use the Dorpskerk entirely and the Centrum district will have its own church.

The Ark, next to the De Banne shopping centre, is a meeting place for everyone. The space is used for various meetings, a meditation group, a language café and choir rehearsals. Every Thursday, the Ark is used as a distribution point for the Food Bank and the Social Grocer is also open.

In the spring of 2003, the Dutch Reformed Church celebrated the 150th anniversary of the church. The foundation stone was laid on 30 April 1852 and the church was put into use on 9 January 1853. The tower was added in 1867. At the end of the 19th century, a German harmonium by organ builder Schiedmaijer from Stuttgart was installed. As early as 1903, this was replaced by a French Serafine organ (i.e. a pressure wind harmonium). In 1915, an organ followed, which was partly replaced in 1965. A commemorative booklet was published for this anniversary. (50-03)
