The Reformed Church of Scheveningen, together with the Reformed Church, now forms the Protestant Church of Scheveningen and is part of the Protestant Church in the Netherlands (PKN). The modern Bethel Church, with tower, was built in 1970-1971 (the foundation stone was laid on 30 May 1970) and was put into use on 26 March 1971. Replaced an earlier Bethel Church in Scheveningen.

In 1969, the first church services were held by the Reformed Church in Lelystad. The meetings took place in the Youth Centre Hoek van het IJ. Due to the growth of the church, in 1973 they moved to the auditorium of the Protestant-Christian primary school Immanuël on the IJssellaan. In 1975, the church community could start building a church on the Zuiderwagenplein. The church building was officially put into use on 12 May 1976. The number of seats was then 300. In 1995, it was decided to expand the church building with a large hall. The official opening took place on 16 October 1996.

The first church services under the responsibility of the Reformed Church in Rotterdam Mijnsherenplein are held on 24 February 1957. These meetings take place in the temporary building on the Larenkamp. In 1958 a committee is set up to investigate the construction of a church building of their own. On 25 March 1960 the church is instituted. From 1961 onwards the church services are held in the 'Credokerk' . In March 1962 the construction of the new church building on the Langenhorst can finally begin. Due to the extremely severe winter of 1962-1963 the construction is delayed. On 22 January 1964 the church building can be put into use. The number of seats is 690. In 1974/1975 expanded with a meeting room. The church building is also given the name 'Bethelkerk'.

On September 5, 2016, construction began on the new church of the Reformed Church in Lunteren. The church was built on the corner of Westzoom and Klomperweg and has 1,300 seats.

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.

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).

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.
