[edit] History

In 1922 and 1923, a handful of brethren felt led of God to begin an evangelistic work in the St. Vital district of Winnipeg. In early summer of 1923, they erected a large tent at the corner of Berrydale Avenue and St. Mary’s Road. Gospel meetings were held all through the summer months. The response of the people in the area was great, so the brethren felt a chapel should be built and the work become a permanent one. A lot was donated by Mr. W. Robertson, and with the help and encouragement of brethren such as H.J. Munro, H.C. Scott, T. Kells, C.N. Pogue, and A. McInnis, Grace Chapel was completed and ready for occupancy in the winter of 1923.


From then until the present, this building has been expanded twice because of increased interest and attendance. In 1973, the building was removed from its foundation, a basement poured and the old building returned to its original place; wings were added to all sides. The building was finished in December 1973 and the dedication service was held in January 1974. Grace Chapel has had much involvement with the development of the work in Fortier.
