Simple church hall without tower. Built as Dutch Reformed Church. This is now, together with the Ontmoetingskerk in Maartensdijk, a church building of the Protestant Community of Maartensdijk - Hollandsche Rading.

In 1966, the land on which this church stands was purchased for 100,000 guilders by the Seventh-day Adventist Church. The church was put into use on 1 November 1967. On 26 October 1967, the newspaper Trouw paid attention to the upcoming opening under the title "New church in Hilversum": "the beautiful church building contains a large church hall with tasteful decoration, equipped with a black tiled baptistery for baptism by immersion, changing rooms, and a consistory room, as well as a youth centre, a meeting room and a games and games room." The pews have been replaced by chairs and the pulpit has been demolished.

New Dutch Reformed Church in the post-war district of Morgenstond. Hall church, covered by a concrete shell roof, with ancillary rooms and a free-standing, open-worked concrete bell tower at the front. Designed by KL Sijmons Dzn. in a functionalist style, this was, in liturgical terms, a breakthrough in Protestant church construction just after the Second World War. The communion room could be connected to the church hall by means of a sliding wall or not. As such, Sijmons created a design that opened the way to multiple use. Stylistically, the design is somewhat influenced by the work of Le Corbusier due to the sculpturally designed bell tower.
