From 1964 to 1969 Reformed Church (Liberated). Since 1969 Dutch Reformed Church.

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.

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.

Second Bethel Church in Enschede. Replaced the Bethel Church on Haaksbergerstraat, which was destroyed by an Allied bombing raid on 22 February 1944.

Built as Dutch Reformed Evangelisation room. Rather inconspicuous hall church without tower. Extension 1960. Church of the Reformed-Ref. parish within the Protestant Community of Den Bosch; this is comparable to a Reformed Church with Reformed Bond signature (Bethel Church 's-Hertogenbosch).

The Bethelkerk is a Protestant place of worship. It was commissioned in 1909. Its roof turret was added in 1949.

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.

Major expansion or new construction, 2003.

Modern church with bell tower.

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!
