The congregation first met in Epe In early 2005, the church council of the Reformed Church (HHG) Emst-Epe eo set up a building committee to provide for its own church building. This committee looked at many locations and buildings and considered whether something was suitable for the future. After a long procedure, permission was eventually obtained from the municipality of Epe in early 2015 to build a church building at Vaassenseweg 14a in Emst. After various contractors submitted a tender, Prins Bouw BV from 't Harde was chosen. They started building the shell shortly after the summer of 2015. The finishing of the building is being done with the help of volunteers.

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.
