Late 18th century church, rebuilt after destruction by war in 1944. The Lutheran community and the Reformed Church of Heusden form a Protestant community as of 1 January 2010. Church services are now held alternately in the Lutheran church on Putterstraat and in the Reformed Church on Gasthuisstraat. No decisions have yet been taken about selling off one of the church buildings. And the Reformed Church, of Reformed Bond signature, does not (yet?) appear to be participating in the PKN.

At the end of December 1901, the Evangelical Lutheran community of Naarden-Bussum was founded, at that time still part of the main community of Weesp. Previously, since 1640-1645, a Lutheran community had existed in Naarden, which, however, went out of business during the nineteenth century. In 1912, the newly founded community became independent. Initially, they had worshipped in the Concordia building in Bussum. However, they wanted their own church building at a central location between Naarden and Bussum, and so a piece of land was purchased, located between the Mecklenburglaan and the Brinklaan. A new church was built on this in 1903, designed by architect Nierop from Maartensdijk. The contractor was Mr. Jurriaan from Naarden. The building was consecrated on 12 April 1903. The church was in its original form a cruciform church in Gothic style with an apse on the Brinklaan side, a roof turret at the crossing and a vaulted ceiling inside. The building blended harmoniously into the surrounding residential area.
