Modern hall church from 1996 with roof turret. J. Fierloos from Goes made the design. In 2009, the church again proved to be too small. The church hall was enlarged. And a new church council room was added. On Friday, January 12, 2011, the expanded church was put back into use.

Interesting church with tower.

Reconstruction church without tower.

Modern church without tower. Early in October 1993, the work on the new church building on the Gerbrandyweg had progressed to the point where it could be used. On Sunday 10 October 1993, it was the first time since 15 June 1980 that the Reformed Church in the Netherlands (Gouda) could meet in its own church building. The official opening took place on Wednesday 20 October 1993.

From 1888 to 1952, the Reformed Church of Metslawier had a partnership with the Reformed Church of Niawier regarding religious services and a joint minister. On April 11, 2010, the Reformed Congregations and the Reformed Churches of Metslawier and Nijawier officially merged into: Protestant Congregation Metslawier-Niawier.

The Christian Reformed Church (CGK) in Lutten was instituted on 11 December 1892. It is not clear where the first church services were held. In 1901, a small church was built on the Anerweg-Noord. That old church was replaced in 1951 on the same spot by this new church, the Rehoboth Church, designed by architect J. Jans. The church was expanded in 1978. In recent years, the congregation appeared to be aging. The church in De Krim was already closed and dissolved on 26 August 2007. And that fate awaits the church in Lutten as well. It was decided to move to Hardenberg. In Hardenberg, the two Protestant Christian primary schools Ichthus and Sjaloom were merged into primary school De Vlinder. The building of the former Ichthus school is now used as a school. The CGK in Lutten bought the closed Sjaloom school and converted it into a church. The last church service was held in Lutten on Sunday 4 January 2009. On Sunday 11 January 2009 the first church service was held in the new church, which, like the school, is called Shalom. (61-09). The former church building on the Anerweg Noord was first rented and later sold to (at that time) the Reformed Church of Bergentheim / Bruchterveld eo (now Lutten eo).

Beautiful modern church with tower. Replaced a wooden church that stood elsewhere.

"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)

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.

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.
