Bethelkerk

Barneveld, NL

Built as Reformed Bethel Church. Now PKN Emmaus Church. Striking, large, well-maintained reconstruction church with high tower to the left of the "choir side". In the clerestory of both side walls are 2 x 5 colorful square stained glass windows (details about maker and depictions still to be found).

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.

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

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!

Bethlehem Chapel

Bethlehem Chapel

Staré Město, CZ

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.

Rotterdam, NL

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.

Bethlehemkapel

Klarenbeek, NL

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.
