An Evangelical Lutheran worship service is held every other week on Sunday mornings in the Saint-Josse Chapel.

The Sint-Joostkapel has been the Evangelical Lutheran Church since 1682 on the corner of the Lage Gouwe and the Groenendaal in Gouda. Luther has become one of the most famous Reformers alongside Calvin. Luther clearly went a different way and, as a former monk, took part of the liturgical traditions from the Roman Catholic Church with him. In addition to the proclamation from the Bible and the celebration of the Lord's Supper, he attached great importance to music in worship.

The Saint Joost Chapel has been the Evangelical Lutheran Church on the corner of the Lage Gouwe and the Groenendaal in the Dutch city of Gouda since 1682. The Saint Joost Chapel dates from the 15th century. The chapel was dedicated to Saint Joost, the patron saint of the peat and sack carriers in Gouda.

This building dates back to the 15th century. In 1630 pastor Petrus Purmerent bought a house at 113 Hoge Gouwe and furnished it for prayer meetings. This hidden church, dedicated to John the Baptist, grew over the years into what is now the Old Catholic Church. As long as the complex served as a hidden church, it was forced to be hidden behind a row of houses.
