Interesting church with tower.
Ermelo, NL
When the new Reformed Church (Liberated) was put into use in 1978, the Reil organ from 1973 was taken from the old building to the new one. However, the organ did not meet the requirements in that larger church. In the spring of 2005, the Blank organ from the closed Chr. Geref. Church of Bussum was purchased. Organ builder Steendam took care of the relocation and restoration. The old Reil organ from Ermelo is going to Haarlem. On 1 December 2006, the organ in Ermelo was festively put into use.

Gorinchem, NL
Characteristic Reformed church building, with tower. One of the many church buildings designed by the important Reformed architect Tjeerd Kuipers (1857-1942). Out of use as a Reformed Church in 1989. In use by the Christian community since 1990. Renovated in 1997. A floor was added, which meant that the original spatial effect of the interior was partly lost.
Heerde, NL
The church building from 1968 replaced the small church from 1907 on the Bonenburgerlaan. That building was converted into a home. On 25 January 1969, the church designed by architect Zeger Wijnands was put into use, but this church building later turned out to be too small. In July 2002, an extension was started. Architect G. Scholte made the design. (48-02) In 2009, the back room was converted into a youth centre. This room can also be added to the church hall. In 2014, the interior of the church hall was renovated. The walls were painted white and the floor and lighting were replaced.

Built as Dutch Reformed Church. Hall church with roof turret. Extension in 1991 with front building, extension in 2003 of the association building 't Anker.
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.
