[edit] History
The town of Arkona is midway between Sarnia and London. There, the Arkona Bible Chapel, ON started in 1974 and was known initially as Elim Gospel Hall, Arkona, ON. David Daley was a full-time worker in the assembly from 1975 through 1982. In 1991, some of the Christians at Arkona Bible Chapel, ON formed the Maranatha Bible Fellowship, Arkona, ON and met in rented space. In late 1996, the leadership of the two assemblies began discussing a merger. After much prayer, this came about in 1997. The combined assembly occupied the former Arkona Bible Chapel, ON, which was renamed Elim Bible Chapel, Arkona, ON. The new assembly has about 200 adults and children in attendance, with new converts and many baptisms.
