History

Assemblée chrétienne évangélique de Saint-Jean, Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Le Haut-Richelieu, Monteregie, Greater Montreal, Southcentral Quebec, Canada, was founded in 1974.

The assembly had its beginnings in the mid-1970s, likely in 1974 according to Ebb and Flow: A History of Christian Brethren Churches in French Canada. This “testimony” was started by Marcel and Roméa Monette. Early on, the assembly had an evangelistic outreach by means of Code-o-phone. Jean Clément, a Christian radio announcer, recorded the brief messages that were posted from time to time. A year and a half later Fernand Saint-Louis was asked to take this over.  The latter's radio program, La foi vivifiante, was also broadcast over the local station. Fernand has continued to give a helping hand ever since. Pioneer worker, Vincent Davey, now with the Lord, often visited this gathering of the Lord’s people in its early years.  

From the beginning, the assembly met in the local St-Jean’s High School until the mid-1990s when meetings were transferred to private homes.
