The Reformed Church in the Netherlands has been meeting in a building at Trekvaart 17 in IJsselmuiden since 1981. This building was built as a car showroom and later furnished as a church hall. Since 2010, there have been plans to build a completely new church building at the current location.

Bethelkerk

Katwijk aan Zee, NL

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!

Bethelkerk

Harderwijk, NL

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.

Bethelkerk

Lelystad, NL

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.

Bethelkerk

Bodegraven, NL

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.
