Also called Anchor Church. The CGK at the Duinrustplein (1954, W. de Jonge) was preceded by a wooden predecessor , originating from Valkenburg (ZH). That emergency church was at the Bestevaerweg. But for those who want to look for it: that street was then in a different place than it is today!

This church is now in use by the Protestant Evangelisation. Modern church with tower. Replaced an earlier church. Architecturally related to the Johanneskerk in Sint Jansklooster by the same architect.

After the previous church building in the Lange Boonestraat was sold to the Verenigde Touwfabrieken on February 18, 1955, in connection with expansion plans of this company, the possibility of new construction arose.

Around 1950, Harderwijk consisted of the old city centre and (part of) the Zeebuurt. In addition, there were a number of houses in the vicinity of the Kranenburg and Jan van Nassau barracks. At that time, Harderwijk started building a new neighbourhood 'over the railway': in order: Tinnegieter, Veldkamp, ​​Wittenhagen. For the first time, there was another location for church services next to the Grote Kerk: the community centre on Pontanuslaan. Plans for a new church were soon made and eventually, in 1960, the new Bethel Church on Wittenhagen was put into use. The building consisted of a large church hall (with a beautiful window by Jacob in Bethel) with four classrooms for a nursery school connected to it, which could partly be added to the church. Weekday activities continued to take place on Pontanuslaan. In 1963, an organ was installed (at the same time as the Gereformeerde Veldkampkerk) by Fonteijn en Gaal from Kampen.

Built as a Reformed Church in Leerdam-West. Interesting modern church with a small tower.

Built as Dutch Reformed Church. In 2002 this Reformed Church "went together" with the local Reformed Church. The Bethel Church in Nieuwdorp changes owner. The municipality of Borsele wants to take over the church from the Federation of Protestant Churches De Samenwerking.

Built as a Reformed Church in the Charlois district in Rotterdam-Zuid. Characteristic church building, with tower, designed by architect Tjeerd Kuipers. Later in the context of Samen op Weg in shared use by the Ned. Herv. Kerk. Since the early 2000s, this Bethel Church has been one of the churches of the Charlois district of the Protestant Community of Rotterdam Zuid (PgRZ).

In the 19th and early 20th century there were a few families in Bodegraven who read a sermon at home on Sundays. After a while they started doing this together. Before the institution in 1925, religious services were held in a building on Kerkstraat , later on Oud Bodegraafseweg [the so-called Rooiekoolkerk] and later still on Willemstraat [behind the Reformed Church]. In the summer of 1925 Mr. P. Zaal reported that he was having two houses built in the new Koningsstraat with a “room” in between to hold church services. This “little church” had 100 seats. Spaciously built for the 31 members and 59 baptized members in 1926.

Rather inconspicuous building without a tower.

Major expansion or new construction, 2003.
