Bethelkerk

Geldermalsen, NL

Reformed Church of Tricht-Geldermalsen, founded in 1845. Initially, the members of the Reformed Church met in a flax barn in the Kerkstraat in Tricht. In 1934, a new church with 400 seats was put into use in Tricht. The building became too small and in 1969 a new church with 700 seats was built on the Tunnelweg in Geldermalsen. That church also became too small. In the summer of 2001, the first pile was driven for a new church on the Laan van Leeuwenstein. On 6 February 2003, it was officially put into use and was named Bethel Church. The architectural firm RoosRos in Oud-Beijerland made the design. There is room for 1224 churchgoers and if necessary, it can be expanded to 1600 seats. An electronic organ was used temporarily. But organ builder Bogaard built a permanent organ with 32 or 34 stops.
