This reformed church on the Utrechtseweg in Renkum was put into use on 8 August 1928. The first stone had been laid the year before, on 2 December 1927. The building served as a replacement for a church from 1889 on the Molenweg. Design sketches date back to 1925 and were published as intended for a church in nearby Oosterbeek. It is likely that this is the same church. These sketches were much more daring and are much more in line with the expressive Amsterdam School than the final result. Due to war damage, the building is no longer original in all places and some additions have been made to the rear.

The Reformed Church of Oud-Vossemeer was established as the "Reformed congregation under the cross" on April 24, 1836. The name of the church was changed twice, namely in 1869 to the Christian Reformed Church and in 1892 to the Reformed Church of Oud-Vossemeer. In the more than 150 years of its existence, the congregation has had three buildings at its disposal. Since July 1851, people met in the "building for religions" and on July 10, 1871, a church building with a parsonage on the Achterweg, the current Hofstraat, was put into use. The church building was demolished in 1975 and on January 24, 1976, the current church building was put into use. The construction was partly made possible by the efforts of dozens of volunteers from the congregation. The first service was held on Christmas Day 1975.

From the outside, this type of church, also in Munnekezijl, has a robust brick appearance, usually with a tower rising from the facade. Organ from 1920 by the Gebr. Rohlfing (Osnabrück).

Built as a Reformed Church in 1905. At that time it was a neo-Gothic church with a roof turret. In 1935 this church was renovated. Under the leadership of architect GJ van der Top the church was extensively renovated in 1959 and it looked like a new church, including a new small tower. In 1986 a youth cellar, a hall and a church council room were added. Between August and November 2002 the hall was greatly enlarged by filling the space between the church and the rectory. (49-03)
