Very important modern church with freestanding tower. Built as a Reformed Church, replacing a small church hall on Groenestraat, and in addition to the more centrally located Immanuëlkerk (which was demolished about 10 years later, in 1973).

The Maranathakerk

Modern rectangular church with detached tower. Built as a Reformed church.

Second Dutch Reformed Church in South Rotterdam (after the Wilhelmina Church). Architecturally and urbanistically very important, beautiful interbellum church with a defining tower, still in full use as a church. The Maranatha Church congregation still calls itself the "Reformed Church" and is of the Reformed Bond signature. Since the demolition wave of the 1970s, the tower of the Maranatha Church has been the highest church tower in South Rotterdam.

Former company building. In 1989 converted into Dutch Reformed Maranatha Church. A metal bell tower was added at that time, containing one bell.

The current Reformed Maranatha Church (1971) at Peursumseweg 15 was built behind the previous Maranatha Church (built in 1913). When the current church was put into use, the demolition of the old church began. The first Maranatha Church from 1913 was built following the merger of two congregations: the Reformed Church of Giessen-Nieuwkerk and the Reformed Church of Giessen-Oudekerk. In 1913, the name of the church community became: Reformed Church Giessen-Nieuwkerk and Giessen-Oudekerk. Since 1957, the name has been Reformed Church Giessenburg (due to the merger of three civil municipalities). The Reformed Churches of Giessen-Nieuwkerk and Giessen-Oudekerk both have separate histories:

Well-kept relatively small "refodome" with tower. To replace the former church building . Due to the growth of the church community and a number of construction defects in the church building on the West-Groeneweg, a building committee was formed in 1979 to investigate the possibilities of new construction. On 3 July 1980, the decision was made to build a new church building with a sexton's house on the Prins Florisstraat. On 5 November 1982, the new church building was put into use. The number of seats is around 200.
