As a Reformed Church (congregation) in the autumn of 2011 merged with the nearby historical Dutch Reformed Village Church (congregation), to form the local "Protestant community in Koudekerk aan den Rijn and Hazerswoude-Rijndijk". Since then, this church has been called "Ontmoetingskerk", and the Village Church has been renamed "Brugkerk". Both church buildings are still in active use.

The Dutch Reformed Meeting Church at Nieuwe Duinweg 64 stands on the same spot as the wooden emergency church. That wooden Meeting Church was an old Zuiderzee barracks that moved to Katwijk in 1954. In 1961, the chapel was destroyed by a tornado. The new Meeting Church by architects Kraan and van Nieuwkoop was built on the same spot. A photo of the old Zuiderzee barracks hangs in the hall of the church. And on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of this congregation, a commemorative book was published in 2004.
