Veenendaal, a town in the Dutch province of [[Utrecht (Netherlands)|Utrecht]] (coordinates: 52° 2′ 0″ N, 5° 33′ 0″ E), formerly the seat of a Mennonite congregation, which is found under different names: Veenendaal, Rijns(s)e Veen, Rhenensche Veen, Rijnse (Reense) Veer.

Concerning the founding of this congregation there is no information. It arose in the early 17th century, when the peat moors in this district were opened; many of the miners are said to have been Mennonites. The congregation, which belonged to the [[Flemish Mennonites|Flemish]] branch and in 1674 joined the [[Zonist Conference|Zonist conference]], is first mentioned in 1629. Its membership was probably always very small. It was financially supported by the congregations of Utrecht, Amsterdam, Haarlem, Rotterdam, and Leiden. In the 17th century [[Geurts, Marten (d. before 1687)|Marten Geurts]], d. ca. 1685, was its elder. After his death it was served by the preachers of Utrecht and [[Amersfoort (Utrecht, Netherlands)|Amersfoort]]. In ca. 1708-1714 Claas Jacobsz was its preacher, and Petrus van Loon 1719-1753. In 1754 the congregation ceased holding meetings for lack of members, most of whom had joined the Reformed Church. But though the congregation is not found in the Naamlijst from 1766 on, it was not until May 1802 that the congregation was actually dissolved.
