==History==
[[Assemblee Chretienne de St-Timothee, QC|Assemblée chrétienne de St-Timothée]] is a French open brethren assembly founded in 1959 that is located in Valleyfield, Haute-Yamaska, Montérégie, Greater Montréal, Southcentral [[Quebec|Québec]], [[Canada]].

Sometime between 1956 when as yet “no new assemblies have been formed in the (Greater) Montreal area” and 1960 when we learn from the pages of ''News of Quebec'' that “there are now two small assemblies in the southwestern part of the province at Farnham and at Valleyfield,” this assembly had its beginnings. 

Thanks to the efforts of pioneer workers [[Noah Gratton]] and [[Albert Grainger]], some twenty people were then meeting regularly in homes in the area. These were joined in 1962 by veteran workers, [[Vincent Davey]] and his wife Della, who had moved to the area from northwestern Quebec where they had been pioneering the work since the early 1940s.

 By this time, these pioneers had been joined by [[Robert Thrall]] and wife Carolyn from assemblies in the States where they had already been engaged in full-time work for the Lord. This couple laboured here until the turn of the century except for a 2-3-year hiatus in the sixties when they were helping out at Cap-de-la-Madeleine.

 By 1965, the Thralls were back and engaged in a novel approach, that of evangelizing the community by reaching children with the Gospel. In fact, a unique feature of this assembly was the important place given to work among the children. Few if any other of Québec's francophone assemblies were built up through children’s work in quite the same way as this one was. At one time the assembly had some sixty persons in attendance.

The present building was purchased in 1968 from another congregation, extensively renovated and has served for many years as the meeting place for this local New Testament assembly. Noah Gratton who, at the outset, served as correspondent was followed by Percy Théoret, Jean Théoret the latter's nephew, and Graham Hodgson who has carried on as teaching elder here for many years.
