Greenville Gospel Hall, aka the Greenville Meeting Room, is reportedly the oldest surviving Brethren assembly in North America, founded in 1854, and with links to assemblies in St. Louis that pre-date 1848. It is affiliated historically with the Tunbridge Wells brethren, and presently meets in an unlisted residential home.
