A GKV church was built in 1963 on Burgemeester Vening Meineszstraat in Amsterdam . This church was later sold to the Salvation Army. The church still belongs to the Salvation Army. The organ built by the Reil company in 1965 was still in the church, even though it was no longer in use. In 2007, the organ was sold to the Kruiskerk in Haulerwijk, where it was officially put into use on 9 November 2007. The Reil organ replaces a smaller instrument by Pels from 1967 in Haulerwijk, which was sold to a private individual in Belgium (60-08)

Until 1965, this church was simply called "Gereformeerde Kerk". A second Reformed church was named "Laanstraatkerk"; it was demolished in 1962. After the Opstandingskerk was put into use, early 1965, this older church was named "Kruiskerk". In 1965-1966, an internal renovation took place that was not very successful, including new pews and a new pulpit under the organ. Due to the demolition of the Opstandingskerk in 1995, the name of this older church was changed again to "Paaskerk". The symbolism in terms of naming over time is clear and logical. In 1995-1996, a more rigorous refurbishment and modernisation of the interior took place again, in which the visual axis on the liturgical centre was turned 180 degrees, so with the (maintained, good) organ at the back. The exterior of this church, in which the extension from 1904 can be reasonably distinguished, has remained almost completely intact and very interesting despite the various internal renovations.

In the sixties, the current church was built to a design by architect G. Steen from 1960. The new construction took place on the grounds of the old school. The work was carried out by construction company H. Westra from Franeker. The building was finally completed in 1966 under the architecture of the architectural firm Steen en Tuinhof. An illuminated cross was placed on the tower. On 31 January 1969, the renovated organ was put into use. In 1969-70, a new rectory was also built. In 1972, the building of the nursery school next to the church and the associated grounds were purchased. A parking lot was constructed on the grounds, while the building itself was rented to a music association. This situation still exists today. In 1986, major maintenance was carried out on both the church and the rectory. The remarkable elevator in the building, which connects the meeting rooms and canteen downstairs with the church hall upstairs, was installed at the end of the eighties.

Dutch Reformed Church, called Kruiskerk, with attached consistory and youth building, built in 1957-1963 by order of the Church Council of the Dutch Reformed Community of Klazienaveen to a design by the Amsterdam architect H. Knijtijzer. The church's bell tower is situated in a defining position in the axis of the Van Echtenstraat. In 1955 Knijtijzer had designed the Dutch Reformed school and in 1957 the youth building. In 1959 Knijtijzer complemented the composition of school, youth building with the church. In 1966 the school had plans to expand. However, the school board found it unnecessary to bring in an architect from Amsterdam for a small expansion and asked the local architect J. van de Heiden. Knijtijzer did not agree with the design.

The Kruiskerk in Amstelveen , located at Van der Veerelaan 30a, was designed by architect Ir. Marius Duintjer . The church was built in 1949 - 1950 by order of the Reformed Church and put into use on 11 May 1951.

Reformed church building, cruciform church with small spire. Even before the war, attempts were made to create a new church building to replace the existing Reformed church from 1859. A new rectory was the result, but the war prevented further plans. The originally desired high tower was not permitted. In the end, it became a small spire. The executing architectural firm was F. van der Laan from Delfzijl, who also designed the 22 narrow stained glass windows. The opening took place on 24 June 1953.
