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'.

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.

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.
