=History=
At the outset of the seventies, this first of two assemblies in Rouyn-Noranda to function consecutively under the same name began meeting in the home of [[Joseph Tremblay]] and his wife Jessie. Jessie McGowan had come to Quebec in 1965, commended to the work by her home assembly in Windsor, Ontario. The couple were married in 1969. Joseph Tremblay was a converted Roman Catholic priest who came to know the Lord through the Christian radio and Christian camping ministries of [[Gaston Jolin]].
In 1975 the Tremblays left to begin a new work at Rivière-du-Loup on the other end of the province. Commended worker [[Marj Robbins]] arrived the same year to join Gaston's radio and television work and give a helping hand at the local assembly which she did until her departure in 1983. Meanwhile the assembly moved into its own building, renting with option to buy. The building was eventually purchased in 1982.
