[edit] History
Following ministries in La Tuque and Drummondville, Roland Lacombe and his wife moved to Sorel, on the St. Lawrence River, northeast of Montreal. In November 1966, the Assemblée chrétienne de Sorel, QC first met to remember the Lord in the basement of the house in which the Lacombes then lived. Many were saved at the opening of the assembly, and seven of the newly converted were baptized.
In 1984, the assembly purchased the Lacombe house with the agreement that the Lacombes could continue to live upstairs. In 1995, Mr. Lacombe, then widowed, moved to his son’s home. The believers demolished the upper story and built a large chapel, which was opened in June 1996.
Roland Lacombe was in leadership until the late 1980s. Since 1986, commended worker Jean_Pierre Cloutier along with Jacques Bussières have been elders. Jean_Marc Joyal has worked faithfully in the assembly since its inception. Jean_Pierre Cloutier was first commended by the assembly for work in the eastern part of the province; however, since 1986 he has worked full time in this assembly. Over 100 adults and children attend Assemblée chétienne de Sorel, QC.
