[edit] History
The Windsor Gospel Hall, ON celebrated its 75th anniversary in 1991. One of the brethren who figured prominently in the formation of the assembly was William Lever. Born in Scotland, he moved to Canada in 1911 and came to Windsor in 1912. Knowing of no assembly in Windsor, he fellowshipped at Central Gospel Hall, Detroit, MI. In 1916, he and a small company of Christians, most of whom were connected with that assembly, rented a hall in the Odd Fellow’s Temple on Wyandotte Street East, just off Ouellette Avenue, to begin the work at Windsor Gospel Hall, ON. The Christians at Central Gospel Hall, Detroit, MI continued their support of the Windsor assembly in the ensuing years.
Leaders from that time include J. Stevens, J.W. Russell, D. Ferguson, R.C.E. Young, Harry Gregg, John Craig, William Hynes, and Sebastian Polido, and more recently Raymond Fairley, Lawrence McLean, David Pratt, and Robert Wylie. The believers built the present Hall in 1927 at 644 Partington Avenue and called it Partington Road Gospel Hall, Windsor, ON. It continues as a testimony, now called Gospel Hall – 644 Partington Avenue. The assembly has commended a worker to ministry in Upper Michigan.
