[edit] History
In 1988 a new work was launched at Sainte-Marie-de-Beauce, thanks to the initiative of believers meeting at Sainte-Foy and Saint-Romuald, now Saint-Jean-Chrysostome. Donald Cox soon joined the effort and, together with Lawrence Fortin who had helped pioneer the work in Cookshire, meetings were begun in the local school. In 1990, the Assemblée chrétienne évangélique de Sainte-Marie-de-Beauce purchased the former Kingdom Hall and have since seen much blessing upon their efforts, and in 2004, they purchased the 'Chevaliers de Colomb' building, a real God's gift to answer their need for larger building and parking, located about a mile and a half far from the preceding one.
Not far from Trois-Rivières is the village of Ste. Narcisse which had a small assembly and a Gospel effort carried on by the Christians at Trois-Rivières. For a time, a small assembly south of Sherbrooke at Coaticook met in homes. French meetings were also held at Scotstown. John Samuel Clark worked at the New Brunswick border at a place called Pied-du-lac, where are a number of Christians in this area gathered together in a small assembly. Noah Gratton and Albert W. Grainger faithfully labored in Montreal, visiting from home to home and reaching out to several towns around. North of Montreal is the small village of Montbeillard. A small French assembly, begun by John Spreeman, was carried on in Montbeillard for some time by Vincent Davey and his wife.
