Grace Fellowship Bible Chapel, ME
Contents
History
Grace Fellowship Bible Chapel in Union, a small town east of Augusta, began as a home Bible study. Not then aware of the brethren assemblies, several people had left their denominational affiliations, or were new believers, and met to search the scriptures. Later they were helped by the believers at Spring Hill Gospel Hall in Westbrook, near Portland.
In 1970, the believers identified with the brethren. After meeting in homes in Union, the group met in space in the Union Odd Fellows Hall, then at a Grange hall in nearby Warren, and since 1983 have met in their own building in East Union. The leaders have been William Street, Roy Beverly, Joe Paradise, and Donald Sabins. The assembly has commended workers to serve the Lord in New Guinea. About 40 adults and youngsters attend on a typical Sunday.
