The church is a single-nave building from 1838. In 1970 the old consistory room was demolished and replaced by a new complex. In 1991 the church was restored and provided with a bluestone floor.

On the Nassaustraat, the first pile was driven on 19 August 2006 for a Reformed Reformed Church (HHK) by Rev. CM Visser. The design for the church was made by the architectural firm B. Bikker in Groot-Ammers. Hopefully, the new church, which will have 420 seats, will be ready in the summer of 2007. Services are now held in a carpentry shed on the Rivierdijk.

The Hersvik church is a long church from 1891, designed by Jacob Wilhelm Nordan, who modelled it on the nearby church in Fedje.

In order to accommodate the growth, a new multifunctional building was built in 1978 in a new district, the Hervormd Centrum, with a church hall of approximately 800 seats. In addition, services were held on Sunday mornings for a number of years in 'De Meente', a residential center for the elderly. In 2004, the building was used by the Restored Reformed Church, which took its own church building into use in 2012. In 2014, the Hervormd Centrum was renovated.

In Dutch Reformed Youth Building, out of use in 1958.

Neoclassical church from 1832. It is listed as a National Monument of the Netherlands.

The church is very suitable as a place to meet, because the building no longer has pews and it is nicely situated. The main attraction is the beautiful stained glass.

Modern church with tower.

The Dutch Reformed Evangelism on Reformed Foundations in Haastrecht was founded in June 1933, when the Association of Reformed Religious Teachers began holding sermons in an inn. Due to the unsuitability of the location, another one was sought, and soon the members of the Religious Teachers Association preached twice on Sundays in the Concordia building. Attendance grew steadily, and in December 1933 it was decided to appoint Mr. G. de Pater, Religious Teacher in Gouderak, to make house calls and give catechism. He was able to devote his energies to our congregation until well after the war. For example, he founded the magazine 'Om Sions Wil' to raise money for Evangelism. After Mr. de Pater, Mr. Stolk, Rev. Verwelius, Rev. Cuperus, Mr. LD Burger, Rev. GH van Kooten were mentors of our congregation. From October 2000 to May 2014, Rev. LD Burger was again the congregation's mentor. In May 2014, he was succeeded by Rev. J. Blom from Ridderkerk.

The chapel, built in 1903, was renovated in 2001. A new stained glass window was put into use on Saturday 27 August 2005. The window depicts a fish, the symbol of Christianity, and was designed by Hoogsoeren artist Gaby Bovelander and made by glass artist Veronica Huis in 't Veld from Apeldoorn.
