History
Groupe Biblique de l'Ouest de Montréal, Southcentral Québec, Canada was a French open brethren assembly started in 1982.
Initially known as the Bible Fellowship, this assembly began as a house church in LaSalle on the western end of Montréal. It was under the leadership of commended worker Bill Snyder who, with his wife Marian, had moved from Trois-Rivières Ouest to this area in 1980. Meanwhile, folk from the nearby Lachine assembly, still quite small, were meeting with others living in the same area who were attending Groupe biblique de la Rive-sud at Longueuil on the south shore. Following discussions between members of the two groups, and with the encouragement of the Longueuil assembly, monthly meetings for the breaking of bread were begun in January 1982. The following year, the two groups coalesced and were meeting on a weekly basis for the Lord’s supper. Shortly thereafter, the assembly incorporated under the name of Groupe biblique de l'Ouest de Montréal. Always meeting in rented quarters, the assembly continued to meet regularly until 2001, following the departure of the Snyders for the United States the previous year. It maintained its corporate existence for several years beyond this date.
