The first church services under the responsibility of the Reformed Church in Rotterdam Mijnsherenplein are held on 24 February 1957. These meetings take place in the temporary building on the Larenkamp. In 1958 a committee is set up to investigate the construction of a church building of their own. On 25 March 1960 the church is instituted. From 1961 onwards the church services are held in the 'Credokerk' . In March 1962 the construction of the new church building on the Langenhorst can finally begin. Due to the extremely severe winter of 1962-1963 the construction is delayed. On 22 January 1964 the church building can be put into use. The number of seats is 690. In 1974/1975 expanded with a meeting room. The church building is also given the name 'Bethelkerk'.
