  • The Bethel Church on Vasco da Gamastraat was built in 1928 as a Gererformeerde Kerk, after a design by Ernst Roest. An organ was built for this church by the company Spiering. This organ was renovated and expanded by Fonteijn & Gaal in 1958 under the advice of Mr. A. Bouman. It was inaugurated with a recital by Simon C. Jansen.
  • The church building was decommissioned around 1980. In 1983, it has been sold to the Evangelical Community 'Maranatha'. This congregation does not use the organ, but it remained in the church. However, the console was removed at some time.
