Barneveld, NL
"Refodome" with 2,000 seats. Replaced the former church building . Once again, the church of the Reformed Church (dating from 1967, expanded in 1998) became too small. There appeared to be two possibilities: 1) split the church and build a second church elsewhere, or 2) enlarge the existing church again. In March 2002, it was decided to split the church and build two new churches and sell the current church. In 2002, it was hoped to realize this plan in about four years. Construction began on the Lunterseweg in September 2007. The church was put into use on December 4, 2008 and was named Adullam Church. The Reformed Church of Barneveld has now been split into two churches, each with its own church building. (48-02/52-04/61-09)

Soest, NL
The congregation was founded around 1946, when a minister of the Reformed Church led a funeral in Soest. The first church service was held in the Eltheto hall of the Dutch Reformed Church on 8 February 1946. After this, the group met in a nursery school on Rembrandtlaan. After initially only holding weekly services, it was decided to also meet on Sundays. The first church service on Sundays took place on 25 August 1946. The congregation was established on 3 April 1958. In 1959, the painters' workshop behind the church hall was converted into a consistory and catechism room. Over the years, the church building had to be renovated. Due to the high costs, it was decided to have a completely new church building built on Dalweg. The last church service on Rembrandtlaan was on 15 December 1968. The church building on Dalweg was put into use on 18 December with 110 seats. In 1976, the church building was expanded with a meeting room. In 1987, the spiral staircase to the organ was moved to create space for 15 new seats. In 2000, the church building was expanded to 180 seats. A new meeting room was also added.

Honselersdijk, NL
After the merger of the Reformed Church and the Reformed Congregations in Honselersdijk on 21 February 2011 within the Protestant Church in the Netherlands, both church buildings, the Rehoboth Church and De Voorhof, remained in use for several years. In 2016, the Rehoboth Church was renovated, with the interior being renewed. The church organ, built in 1967-1968 by the PC Bik company, was demolished. An organ from Rudolf Oehms from 1981 was purchased, built for the Sankt Piuskirche in Neunkirchen in Saarland. The organ was relocated by Ide Boogaard in collaboration with many volunteers. The Sankt Piuskirche was a modern church building from 1960, consecrated on 11 December 1960. After a final celebration on 31 October 2015, this church was closed due to a sharp decline in church attendance. On December 16, 2016, the renovated church building in Honselersdijk was put into use at the same time as the organ with a new name: the Regenboogkerk. The Voorhof was then taken out of use.
