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.

Modern church with bell tower.

New, large, beautiful, well cared for down to the last detail, church building of the Restored Reformed Church. So-called "refodome".

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.

On the site of a former, demolished church from 1968.

The Bethlehem Chapel was built between 1391 and 1394 and was intended for preaching in the Czech language. The Bethlehem Chapel is mainly associated with the work of Jan Hus (1370-1415), who became its administrator on 14th March 1402. After changing its use many times, it fell into ruin and was therefore largely demolished in 1786. It was rebuilt in the first half of the 1950s as a memorial to the Hussite movement.

Modest hall church without tower, in the northwestern district of Overschie. Out of use as a Reformed Church in 1964. Now Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses.

The church was built in 1862. The building was then called Bethlehem and fell under the Reformed Church of Beekbergen. In 1934, a catechism room was added to the rear. In the same year, a community building was built next to the church. In 1949, a minister's residence was built so that the indoor residence could be incorporated into the church. The entrance was moved to the front facade. The plasterwork of the front facade was replaced by brickwork and a roof turret was placed with a turret with a copper spire on top.

Built as a Reformed Church. Since 2005 a Protestant Church. Interesting reconstruction church with bell tower.
