==History==
One of the earliest ‘open’ assemblies was located on Saint Antoine Street in Montreal. Its beginnings are lost to memory. This meeting consisted of a number of local brethren as well as others from the British West Indies. In the mid-1920s the work divided, with the more conservative element moving away. It was this latter group that would form the nucleus of what is now known as Grace Gospel Hall, a bilingual work. It was described by [[Arnold John Myers Reynolds|Arnold Reynolds]] as “the most conservative of any of the (English) assemblies”.
From Ville St. Laurent the assembly moved west in 2005, off the island of Montreal to its current location at 50 - 5<sup>th</sup> Avenue in the city of Pincourt. On July 4, 2013, a suspicious fire destroyed the building and, for several years, meetings were held in the nearby Presbyterian Church. A new construction was completed and occupied as of 2015.
