L'Assemblee Chretienne de L'est, Montreal, QC

History

L'Assemblée Chrétienne de l'Est, Montreal, Southcentral Quebec, Canada was a French open brethren assembly located in the suburb of Saint-Léonard. It ultimately took the name of La Source.

A first daughter church of the work of La Grande Maison, this assembly began in 1979 in the home and under the leadership of commended worker Leslie Muirhead and his wife Louise. Two years later, it moved to rented quarters which unfortunately burned to the ground in late 1983. Providentially, the musical instruments had been removed earlier as the musicians were using them elsewhere. Shortly thereafter, the assembly moved to a school. In 1991 the assembly Le Sentier, meeting in Verdun, requested to join with La Source. The unhappy union, which had been opposed by the leaders of La Source, resulted in the closure of the assembly the following year, the people going their separate ways to one or another of the  several evangelical churches of the city.
