In 1965, the Reformed sub-community De Rank was founded. They bought the former canteen barracks of the Conrad camp, a camp intended for repatriates from Indonesia. The wooden barrack church was called Boskarkie. The group now has 750 members. In 1982, Bethel was founded, an Evangelical Community. It held its meetings in a small room behind a house. This group has 140 members. The space became too small for both churches. A twin church was built elsewhere, in which each has a church hall and ancillary rooms. The new building De Rank was put into use on 27 October 2002. The new church of the Evangelical Community a few weeks earlier. The Dutch Reformed Church De Rank is located at Ebbinge Wubbenlaan 41-a. And the Evangelical Community Bethel has the address Ebbinge Wubbenlaan 41-b. (49-03/50-03)

Built as a church of the Reformed Community of Nuenen (Dutch Reformed + Reformed Church together) 1998-1999. Now a church of the Protestant (PKN) Church of Nuenen. Architecturally and functionally successful modern church. Previously, for larger celebrations, for which the historic NH Van Gogh church was too small, the former RK Chapel of Huize De Vank, near (west of) De Regenboog, was used. An earlier church by architect I. Povse was the Kruiskerk in Geleen-Oost.

On 6 February 2011, the De Regenboog Church Centre was put into use. The first plans for the construction of this church centre date from 2003. The Protestant Community had been using the De Triangel school building since 2000 and wanted a larger building. The Reformed Community was looking for a replacement for the Het Anker building in Stadsweiden. The collaboration between both parishes led to the laying of the first stone for the jointly used building in April 2010.

De Regenboog was built in 1924. This church is listed as a Municipal Monument of the Netherlands.

The church building De Regenboog was built as a Reformed Church in 1972; it replaced a smaller building on the same site. The architect of De Regenboog, Arco Cooiman, opted for a symbolic and at the same time functional design. You enter the church through the meeting room, called the Voorhof. He also wanted you to be able to look outside while sitting in the church. In 2016, De Regenboog was renovated and redecorated, using furniture from the Trefpuntkerk in Alkmaar, which closed in early 2016.
