==History==
Bethel Bible Chapel began in the “Scotch settlement” of Black Cape/New Richmond, some of whose inhabitants were [[United Empire Loyalists]]. This was the site of perhaps the largest of the English assemblies on the Gaspé coast. The assembly began at Black Cape in 1889, following consecutive periods of “revival and blessing” during the previous year under the ministry of J. B. McCaffery and [[Elijah S. Lyman]] followed by W. C. Johnston, R. Harvie and [[B. C. Greenman]]. The following account of its beginnings was published in [[The Home Evangel|''The Home Evangel'']] for November 1929:
Bethel Bible Chapel in New Richmond, newly-constructed, opened in 1975 and continues to the present time, having become a bilingual work as of 2001 when the first French Canadians were welcomed at the Lord’s Supper. The annual conferences continue here to the present time.
