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

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.

The Bethelkerk is a Protestant place of worship. It was commissioned in 1909. Its roof turret was added in 1949.

On 8 January 2007, the first pile was driven for a church of its own at the FM Boogaardweg, designed by architect Van Beijnum in Amerongen. On 14 April 2007, the memorial stone was placed in the Bethel Church. The church has room for 365 churchgoers. Of course, there are the necessary side rooms. On 1 September 2007, there was an open day. On 14 September 2007, the official inauguration of the Bethel Church took place.

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.

Large modern church with a metal tower built in1972. It was renovated in 2001.

The Reformed Church of Scheveningen, together with the Reformed Church, now forms the Protestant Church of Scheveningen and is part of the Protestant Church in the Netherlands (PKN). The modern Bethel Church, with tower, was built in 1970-1971 (the foundation stone was laid on 30 May 1970) and was put into use on 26 March 1971. Replaced an earlier Bethel Church in Scheveningen.

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!
