The church was dedicated to Saint Gangulfus. Since the "Samen op Weg" (Together on the Way) process, the Reformed church has been called the Village Church.[1] The church building is a national monument. A boulder from a pre-14th-century church was found in the foundations. The current 14th-century church has remnants of tuff stone from its predecessor in the north and east facades. The 1948 bell was cast by Van Bergen of Heiligerlee to replace a bell from 1805 requisitioned by the German occupiers.
The wooden ceiling of the choir was painted in 1715, probably by Herman Collenius, with allegories of life and death, joy and mourning. The family crests of the Nijsingh van het Nijsinghhuis, Canter van ter Borgh, Welvede, and Juckema van Oosterbroek families are located in the rim. The pew in the choir belongs to the Oosterbroek manor house. The organ, dating from 1907, was made by Pieter van Dam II. The pulpit, dating from 1621, is the oldest in Drenthe. The baptismal font, dating from 1980, was made by Leo van den Bos. The lid features a dove, symbolizing the Holy Spirit. The bowl inscribed with the words: "For with you is the fountain of life; in your light do we see light" (Psalm 36). On either side of the entrance, beneath the organ, are two 18th-century pews that belonged to the residents of Lemferdinge.
The church is served by the Protestant community of Eelde-Paterswolde.

The church, dating from the 14th century, is one of the most important church buildings in Drenthe and is classified as a national monument. It is a church without a tower, but it does have a very attractive ridge turret.
It is unknown when the church in Eelde was built. A deed of sale from 1139 shows that it exists. This church is built of tuff stone and has a more or less rectangular shape and a built-in tower. During a restoration in 1973, the entire foundation was mapped and drawn in the floor plan of the current church. oleel.nl/historie/bijzondere-bedrijven/de-dorpskerk
