Charlottetown Bible Chapel has its roots in a few meetings held in 1954 and 1955 in the Sons of England Hall. In 1954, Emmanuel Bible Camp, a summer Bible camp for boys and girls, was opened. The Prince Edward Island Evangelical Association was formed for ownership and operation of the camp and for other activities.   
Svend Christensen was concerned about the development of an aggressive testimony in Charlottetown, and so in 1955, through the Prince Edward Island Evangelical Association, purchased a property at 235 Cumberland Street, Charlottetown, and the chapel was constructed. The first official meeting of the assembly was in January 1956. The assembly presently occupies its own chapel at 35 Lincolnwood Drive.
