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.
