Lutten, NL
The Christian Reformed Church (CGK) in Lutten was instituted on 11 December 1892. It is not clear where the first church services were held. In 1901, a small church was built on the Anerweg-Noord. That old church was replaced in 1951 on the same spot by this new church, the Rehoboth Church, designed by architect J. Jans. The church was expanded in 1978. In recent years, the congregation appeared to be aging. The church in De Krim was already closed and dissolved on 26 August 2007. And that fate awaits the church in Lutten as well. It was decided to move to Hardenberg. In Hardenberg, the two Protestant Christian primary schools Ichthus and Sjaloom were merged into primary school De Vlinder. The building of the former Ichthus school is now used as a school. The CGK in Lutten bought the closed Sjaloom school and converted it into a church. The last church service was held in Lutten on Sunday 4 January 2009. On Sunday 11 January 2009 the first church service was held in the new church, which, like the school, is called Shalom. (61-09). The former church building on the Anerweg Noord was first rented and later sold to (at that time) the Reformed Church of Bergentheim / Bruchterveld eo (now Lutten eo).
Heerde, NL
The church building from 1968 replaced the small church from 1907 on the Bonenburgerlaan. That building was converted into a home. On 25 January 1969, the church designed by architect Zeger Wijnands was put into use, but this church building later turned out to be too small. In July 2002, an extension was started. Architect G. Scholte made the design. (48-02) In 2009, the back room was converted into a youth centre. This room can also be added to the church hall. In 2014, the interior of the church hall was renovated. The walls were painted white and the floor and lighting were replaced.

Well-maintained modern church without a tower (a small "refodome"). The former church building on the North side was built in 1924. The building was getting old and actually too small. A community building was built separately from the old church building from 1924. Behind and attached to it, this new church with 400 seats was built in 2005.

Muntendam, NL
This church is listed as a National Monument of the Netherlands. The organ was built by Gebr. Rohlfing in 1923.
Soest, NL
The congregation was founded around 1946, when a minister of the Reformed Church led a funeral in Soest. The first church service was held in the Eltheto hall of the Dutch Reformed Church on 8 February 1946. After this, the group met in a nursery school on Rembrandtlaan. After initially only holding weekly services, it was decided to also meet on Sundays. The first church service on Sundays took place on 25 August 1946. The congregation was established on 3 April 1958. In 1959, the painters' workshop behind the church hall was converted into a consistory and catechism room. Over the years, the church building had to be renovated. Due to the high costs, it was decided to have a completely new church building built on Dalweg. The last church service on Rembrandtlaan was on 15 December 1968. The church building on Dalweg was put into use on 18 December with 110 seats. In 1976, the church building was expanded with a meeting room. In 1987, the spiral staircase to the organ was moved to create space for 15 new seats. In 2000, the church building was expanded to 180 seats. A new meeting room was also added.
