==History==
[[Assemblee Chretienne Evangelique, Baie Comeau, QC|Eglise évangélique de Baie Comeau]] in Baie Comeau, Manicouagan, Cote-Nord, North [[Quebec|Québec]], [[Canada]] is a French open brethren assembly founded in 1978.
This assembly began in the community of Hauterive in the late seventies , on the threshold of Québec’s evangelical explosion. In 1978, several believers first met as a group to break bread. Four years later, Hauterive was joined to Baie-Comeau to form one municipality under the latter name. It is located on the north shore of the Saint Lawrence River, fifty miles downstream from Quebec City.
The work started following the arrival in the area of a young man, Raynald Carbonneau, whose family had earlier come to know the Lord. This was the result of a Bible and New Testament that had been given to the father by a hitch hiker to whom he had given a ride. Raynald, who by then had left the nest and was toying with the occult, noticed these books on one of his visits home. He borrowed, read them and trusted Christ as his Saviour. First the mother, then the father and eventually the entire family of fourteen children were saved and ultimately began attending the assembly at Montmagny.
