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.

On September 5, 2016, construction began on the new church of the Reformed Church in Lunteren. The church was built on the corner of Westzoom and Klomperweg and has 1,300 seats.

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.

On the site of a former, demolished church from 1968.

The Bethlehem Chapel was built between 1391 and 1394 and was intended for preaching in the Czech language. The Bethlehem Chapel is mainly associated with the work of Jan Hus (1370-1415), who became its administrator on 14th March 1402. After changing its use many times, it fell into ruin and was therefore largely demolished in 1786. It was rebuilt in the first half of the 1950s as a memorial to the Hussite movement.

Modest hall church without tower, in the northwestern district of Overschie. Out of use as a Reformed Church in 1964. Now Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses.

The church was built in 1862. The building was then called Bethlehem and fell under the Reformed Church of Beekbergen. In 1934, a catechism room was added to the rear. In the same year, a community building was built next to the church. In 1949, a minister's residence was built so that the indoor residence could be incorporated into the church. The entrance was moved to the front facade. The plasterwork of the front facade was replaced by brickwork and a roof turret was placed with a turret with a copper spire on top.

The Bethlehem Church is now one of the church buildings of the PKN. The Grote Kerk and the Sion Church belong to the Reformed League of the Reformed Church, but also to the PKN.
