History
Groupe Biblique de l'Outaouais, QC is a French open brethren assembly founded in 1979 and active through present day.
Groupe biblique de l'Outaouais began about 1979. Several Christian couples in the area of Hull met together with Wilf Wight from across the river in Ottawa. They were shown what the New Testament teaches concerning local churches. Beginning with a first prayer meeting in the home of Jacques Dubreuil, the work began to take shape.
Jack and Elizabeth Harvie, recently arrived from employment in Montréal and from the assembly at Longueuil, soon joined the small handful of believers seeking the Lord's will as to the establishment of a New Testament assembly in the area. When God answered their prayers for the salvation of a woman with whom the Gospel had been shared, they took it as a sign that they should move ahead. An old house, owned by the local bank, was rented and served for a period of time until it was demolished and the assembly had to find new quarters.
In 1984, the group moved to its present rented facilities in downtown Hull, just across the river from Canada's parliament buildings.
