Rijnsaterwoude, NL
Originally, since 1887, people worshipped in a wooden church that differed little from a barn, but was nevertheless equipped with a sawn edge along the roof and an ornamental entrance. In 1951, a new brick church was built nearby, designed by W. Brouwer. Around 1990, the interior was largely replaced, while in 1990 a new organ was installed and adjustments were also made.
Dokkum, NL
Built in 1976 behind the previous church. After completion of the new church the old one was demolished. No tower.

Exceptionally beautiful, important large city church with tower, and with many expressionist details, and largely preserved interior from 1921. This is probably the most beautiful church in the Netherlands of the Christian Reformed Church society.

Interbellum church with tower. As of November 1, 2001, the Christian Reformed Church (CGK) and the Dutch Reformed Church (NGK) in Lisse have been completely merged into one congregation. The Chr. Geref. church building at Veldhorststraat 48 is the building for church services. The Salvatori church at Wagenstraat 33 (this is the former Reformed Association building) was the conference center for meetings and all kinds of activities. The last church service was held here on October 28, 2001. The congregation is part of three different associations of churches: the Christian Reformed Churches, the Dutch Reformed Churches and the Reformed Churches (liberated).
Nieuwe Pekela, NL
Enlarged in 1912, damaged by fire in 2003. In the night of 20/21 June 2003 there was a fire in the CGK. A short circuit is probably the cause. Renovation of the church building was already underway. Unfortunately, they can now start all over again. A year later, on 18 June 2004, the rebuilt and renovated church building was put back into use in a festive service. Using old photographs, the interior has been restored to its original state of construction in 1911, whereby a later renovation has also been undone. A "Johannus organ" has been placed behind an organ front purchased in Urk. This church is listed as a Municipal Monument of the Netherlands.
Genemuiden, NL
The church was founded in 1981, after a small number of people were excluded from the Reformed Church of Genemuiden due to a conflict. In 1985, the church building on Stuivenbergstraat was put into use. In 2011, the church building was expanded.
