Gouda, NL
Built as Dutch Reformed Peace Church. Modern church with metal bell tower. Since 2013 the name of the church building is Ontmoetingskerk instead of Vredeskerk. This was due to the merger of the Reformed and Gereformeerde parishes. In ± 2013 the church was also extensively renovated. The bell tower has disappeared (see the difference in Images Exterior below).
Nieuwleusen, NL
The church, built in 1939 to a design by architect Van der Veen, replaced a church from 1869. In 1958 the building was expanded with a separate meeting room. In 1980 the church and the hall were connected. In 1997 the church was renovated. And the work completed in October 2007 finally made all parts one whole, especially in the interior of all rooms.

Built as a Reformed Church, replacing an older church building. Cruciform church with a tower in neo-Gothic style.
Oudewater, NL
Modern church building without tower, built as a Reformed Church. In 2005 this became the church of the Protestant Community of Oudewater (PGO), after a merger between the local Reformed Church and the Dutch Reformed sub-community "De Biezen", which until then had used its own "church centre". The Grote of St. Michaëlskerk in Oudewater has remained a separate Reformed community, with a Reformed Bond signature, which is separate from the PGO.
Nieuw-Lekkerland, NL
The Reformed Church in Nieuw-Lekkerland is the biggest and oldest church in the town. It was built in 1848, but historians are sure that there has been another church before. The architect of the current church was D. Slingerland.
