The Sint-Lambertuskerk is a church in the village Kerk-Avezaath in the Dutch province of Gelderland. The church is located on the Daver, centrally on the south side of the village. It is a single-aisled aisleless church with a late Gothic choir and a neo-Gothic nave, which was inaugurated in its present form in 1861. The history of the church building goes back to the year 1007. The church building is a national monument and has been managed and supported by the Oude Gelderse Kerken Foundation since 1999.

The oldest mention of the church in Kerk-Avezaath dates from 1007. The church building was then donated to the Abbey of Thorn by Bishop Notger of Liège with the approval of King Henry II. The abbess incorporated the Sint-Lambertuskerk in 1266 and then had the right of collation over the Avezaath church community for more than 350 years, until about 1619. After the Reformation steadily takes place from 1600 onwards, this also affects Kerk-Avezaath. In 1619 the first pastor, Lambertus Latonus, is called. In the village, the streets The Abbey and Thornstraat are named after the period 1007-1619.

In the 17th century a school was established under the tower, the first predecessor of OBS De Daverhof. In 1632, a teacher from Enspijk was employed by the municipality of Zoelen, to which Kerk-Avezaath belonged around that time. Presumably, from that year on, teaching in the church. In the course of the 17th century, some minor maintenance work was recorded, presumably to better separate the teaching and church space. A complaint from 1756 has been preserved, reading: "(...) how inconvenient the schoolhouse was under the tower".

In 1776 it was decided to brick up the gate under the tower completely, so that the church space in the nave was again separated from the (school) space under the tower. Around 1840 the school was moved to a hall in the newly built vestry building, directly opposite the north side of the church.
