[edit] History
The Christians at Brock Street Temperance Hall, Toronto, ON/Farley Avenue Hall, Toronto, ON desired to start an assembly in the east end of the city, so Donald Munro started Bible Readings in a rented hall there. He was followed the next year by James Kay from England. As a result, a testimony began in 1891 at 639 Queen Street East. James Lynn, a letter carrier, is remembered as one of the real servants in this east-end assembly. Robert Telfer was married in 1892 and took up residence in the area and became associated with this assembly. The Christians called their group simply Christians in the East-End of the City. The growing work needed larger quarters, so the Christians moved to Queen and Bolton Avenue, and used the name East-end Gospel Hall, Toronto, ON. At the end of 1901, they moved to 194 Broadview Avenue where they still meet as the Broadview Avenue Gospel Hall, Toronto, ON. The Pape Avenue Gospel Hall, Toronto, ON hived off from Broadview Avenue Gospel Hall, Toronto, ON in 1921.
Early leaders at Broadview Avenue Gospel Hall, Toronto, ON include Thomas Breckles, James Roy, William Dobbin, John Clarke, James Mahaffey, and Adam Ross. Elders since 1950 include John Virgin, Robert Boam, Joe Higgins, Don Jennings, Cyril Lallion, and Andrew Wilson. Broadview Avenue Gospel Hall, Toronto, ON commended Albert Joyce and Fred Nugent to ministry in Canada and the U.S. and others to Venezuela and ministry in the Toronto area.
