Geldermalsen, NL
Reformed Church of Tricht-Geldermalsen, founded in 1845. Initially, the members of the Reformed Church met in a flax barn in the Kerkstraat in Tricht. In 1934, a new church with 400 seats was put into use in Tricht. The building became too small and in 1969 a new church with 700 seats was built on the Tunnelweg in Geldermalsen. That church also became too small. In the summer of 2001, the first pile was driven for a new church on the Laan van Leeuwenstein. On 6 February 2003, it was officially put into use and was named Bethel Church. The architectural firm RoosRos in Oud-Beijerland made the design. There is room for 1224 churchgoers and if necessary, it can be expanded to 1600 seats. An electronic organ was used temporarily. But organ builder Bogaard built a permanent organ with 32 or 34 stops.

Bodegraven, NL
In the 19th and early 20th century there were a few families in Bodegraven who read a sermon at home on Sundays. After a while they started doing this together. Before the institution in 1925, religious services were held in a building on Kerkstraat , later on Oud Bodegraafseweg [the so-called Rooiekoolkerk] and later still on Willemstraat [behind the Reformed Church]. In the summer of 1925 Mr. P. Zaal reported that he was having two houses built in the new Koningsstraat with a “room” in between to hold church services. This “little church” had 100 seats. Spaciously built for the 31 members and 59 baptized members in 1926.
