At the beginning of the twentieth century, several people from Elspeet and the surrounding area left the Dutch Reformed Church. In 1914, these people formed a branch of the Reformed Church in Barneveld. On 10 September 1919, this branch became independent. In the same year, a simple church was put into use on the Nachtegaalweg. In 1938, a new church building was built on the same site. Due to the growth of the community and the many holidaymakers in the summer months, the number of seats was significantly expanded in both 1976 and 1993.

Neo-Romanesque church without a tower, but with a high roof.

Community that emerged around 1932 from the Old Reformed Community of Rev. L. Boone. After initially meeting in a home, church services were soon moved to café De Kroon in the Voorstraat. In 1939, it was decided to build a new church building in the Voorstraat on the site of two homes. The church building was already put into use on 7 July 1939. The number of seats was then 134.

After the establishment of the Reformed Church on 07.11.1913, a separate church was put into use on 14 April 1914 at the Torendijk.

This church was seriously damaged during the Flood of 1953, but was restored in 1954.

In 1965 the front facade was changed and the windows were also renewed. In 1975 the church building was expanded with a meeting room. The consistory room was also renovated and a parking lot was constructed next to the church building. In 1977 new pews were placed in the church building.
