The Bethelkerk

The Bethelkerk, located at Jan Th. Tooroplaan 133, 6717 KD Ede, Netherlands, is a Reformed Church in Ede, Netherlands. Founded in 1883, the church has undergone several expansions and renovations over the years.

The Bethelkerk's architecture is a unique blend of Gothic Revival and Art Nouveau styles. The church features a striking tower with a clock face, as well as a beautiful stone façade with intricate carvings. The interior of the church boasts stunning stained-glass windows and a majestic organ.

Regular Sunday services are held in Dutch, while occasional English-language services are also offered for international visitors and expats living in Ede. The church is not only a place of worship but also hosts various community events and activities throughout the year.

  2. Since 1961, the Hervormde Gemeente van Ede (PKN) has used a wooden community building at Blokkenweg for services, which was named Bethel.
  • On Wednesday, February 24, 1965, the current Bethelkerk church was opened. The building is located on the corner of Diedenweg and Jan Th. Tooroplaan, designed by architects Geenen and Oskam from Eindhoven (later GOW Project- & Bouwmanagement).
