History
Assemblée Chrétienne de Jonquière, Jonquière, Saguenay, Saguenay-Lac-Saint-Jean, Central Quebec, Canada
In 1947 brethren Charles-Eugène Boulianne, Leslie Russell and Joseph Trudeau, the latter saved at Girardville, began the Arvida assembly, now located in Jonquière. Meetings rotated in their homes. Two years later they were joined by Howard Forbes, bringing to seven the number of those breaking bread in the little assembly. As the assembly grew, the four above-mentioned brethren became the first elders.
In 1954, a single-level building was erected for assembly meetings, construction being supervised by Roy Buttery. With Roy’s subsequent move to the area in 1959, there were three full-time workers labouring together. The newly-constructed meeting place, today a private home, served until l966 when the Anglican church at Kénogami was purchased. Finally, after the municipalities of Arvida and Kénogami later amalgamated with Jonquière, the assembly took the name of this latter locality.
In 1979, a significant number of believers hived-off to formally establish the assembly work in nearby Chicoutimi, a work that had been in process of development over a number of years under the leadership of Roy Buttery. Growth continued unabated at Jonquière and by March 1987, a new edifice was in place to meet the needs of the expanding congregation. It was at this juncture that commended workers Don Cox and his wife Beth arrived, following consecutive ministries in Drummondville, Sainte-Anne-des-Monts and Cap-de-la-Madeleine.
