- The Gereformeerde Kerk (Vrijgemaakt) of Avereest-Dedemsvaart had their services in a building on the Coevorderweg. A harmonium was used here. After the expansion of the church building, a two-manual pedal harmonium was purchased. This instrument moved to the new (current) church building on the Meppelerweg. In 1979 it was decided to buy a pipe organ. Jan Hoogenes received the order, but his company went bankrupt. In 1982 a positive was bought, built by Flentrop in 1957 for the Christian Teacher School (Christelijke Lerarenopleiding) in Zwolle. It was transferred by BAG Orgelmakers and expanded with a Bourdon 16 'on the Pedal. After the church building was enlarged again in 1988, people started looking for a larger organ. In 1996 they had the opportunity to buy the organ from the Zuiderkerk in Zaandam, that was closed.
- In 1952 Flentrop built an almost identical instrument for the Noorderkerk and the Zuiderkerk in Zaandam. Four stops were reserved on the pedal: Octave 4', Mixture IV ranks, Bassoon 16' and Schalmei 4'. There was also room reserved for a Borstwerk. The Zuiderkerk was closed in September 1996 and the organ was offered for sale.
- The company B.A.G. Organ makers from Enschede were hired to relocate the organ. By purchasing the Flentrop choir organ from the Grote Kerk in Enschede from 1956, the reserved Borstwerk could be created. The organ case has been adjusted: the pedal towers were dropped fifty centimeters. The stop list has also been changed. The Flute 4' got a discant, which meant that the Tertian had to be removed. The Octave 2' of the Borstwerk was exchanged for the Vlakfluit 2' of the Hoofdwerk. The Scherp of the Borstwerk was changed to a Sesquialter II ranks (discant). The division of Hoofdwerk has been maintained. The instrument was inaugurated on 13 September 1997 with a recital by Jan Harryvan. There were plans to create some ornaments for the organ in the future.
- In 2018-2019 the church building has been partially rebuild and enlarged. The organ was sold to a church in Rumania.
