The earliest services were conducted in open air or private until 1759, when the congregation worshiped in St. John's Anglican Church. In 1770 the first church was built on this site and Reverand Bruin Romkes Comingo began to lead the congregation. The reverand served the church for 50 years until his death. The church was replaced by his successor, Reverand Adam Moschell and over the years, with several additions and changes, has grown into the church seen standing today.
