L'Assemblee Chretienne de L'est, Montreal, QC

History

L'Assemblée Chrétienne de l'Est, Montreal, Southcentral Quebec, Canada was a French open brethren assembly 1979-1996.

A second daughter church of the work of La Grande Maison, this assembly began in 1979 under the leadership and in the home of commended worker Leslie Muirhead and his wife Louise. Two years later, it moved to rented quarters which unfortunately burned to the ground in late 1983. Providentially, the musical instruments had been removed earlier as the musicians were using them elsewhere. Shortly thereafter, the assembly moved to a school. In 1991 the assembly Le Sentier, meeting in Verdun, requested to join with La Source. The unhappy union, which had been opposed by the leaders of La Source, resulted in the departure of its principal leaders and the eventual closure of the assembly by 1996, the people going their separate ways to one or another of the several evangelical churches of the city.
