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, 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.
