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.

Harderwijk, NL
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.
