Groupe Chretien Evangelique Lotbiniere, QC

History

Groupe Chrétien Évangélique Lotbinière is a French open brethren assembly founded in 2016.

Groupe Chrétien Évangélique Lotbinière is a daughter church to that in Lévis. It is located at Laurier Station on the south shore of the Saint Lawrence River, forty-five kilometers upstream from Québec City.

The vision of a new assembly in the Lotbinière region first took shape in the hearts of believers at Assemblée chrétienne de la Rive-sud in  Lévis. Aware that God had abundantly blessed them with a good congregation, it was felt that perhaps the time had come to begin a work elsewhere. In addition, two families together with a young woman, recently saved, were already living in the target region. It was in the summer of 2015 that the project firmly began to take shape.

Commended workers, Errol Savard and wife Lynn, serving the Lord at Lévis, put their condominium on the market in order to move to the new location. While waiting for it to sell, the Lévis assembly rented a facility at Laurier Station and began weekly Bible studies on Wednesday evenings. Several others from the assembly joined in the effort. All were encouraged and motivated by the experience as a few locals joined them from time to time. Visits were made and invitations distributed as all continued to pray earnestly for the Lord’s direction.

After nearly a year, the Savard’s condo sold and within a month the move was completed during the last week of August. Everything was in readiness to begin meetings in September 2016 as planned. Twenty-five, including eight children, made up the initial group. Meetings are conducted in a spacious room above the garage while search continues for a more permanent meeting place.
