History
Assemblée Chrétienne du Témiscouata, Témiscouata-sur-de-Lac, Bas-Saint-Laurent, Southeast Québec, Canada is a French open brethren assembly founded in 1989 in Cabano.
In 1989, three families of believers from the assembly in Rivière-du-Loup, living in Cabano some thirty-five miles away, began meeting in the basement belonging to one of the brethren. The group grew and soon the garage was “converted” into a meeting place to better accom-modate the increasing numbers. Their own building was purchased in 1999 and renovated to provide adequate meeting facilities. More recently the town name was changed to Témiscouata-sur-le-Lac.
Meantime, in 1993, André Lepage and his family began attending. Eventually they were commended by the assembly to work among them. They sold their home, a forty-minute drive from the assembly, and moved to within walking distance of the chapel. André increasingly shouldered responsibility for the preaching and teaching; however, due to serious physical setbacks, he eventually had to curtail his activities. In 2019, the Lepages relocated to Rivière-du-Loup, some fifty miles away, in order to be closer to needed medical facilities. Since then, the assembly building has been put up for sale and meetings have been seriously curtailed.
