Around 1934, a church building of the Restored Apostolic Missionary Church (HAZEA) was built here, which was taken over in 1951 by the Apostolic Society, which separated from this church . The Apostolic Society prefers to refer to the church as a meeting place. In 1921, the HAZEA acquired a community in Amsterdam-Noord, which wanted its own place to hold meetings. The church commissioned architect Cornelis Kruyswijk .
