Assemblee Evangelique de Sainte-Foy is a French open brethren assembly that was founded as Salle Evangelique Belvedere in Sainte-Foy, initially a suburb of Quebec City, [[Quebec]], prior to 1954 by Jean-Paul Berney, who was born in 1926 in Lausanne, Switzerland (and died in 2014). Berney also founded [[Assemblee Chretienne Cartier Avenue, Quebec City, QC|Assemblee Chretienne Cartier Avenue]] in 1955 that met until merging with this assembly in 1960.

''Assemblée évangélique de Sainte-Foy'' has roots in the activity of workers who arrived following World War II. At that time the city was visited at odd times by pioneer workers John Spreeman, Paul Boëda, Howard Forbes and others. In spite of the fact that these workers had charges elsewhere and were unable to devote much of their time to the city, an earlier work had in fact existed in the 1950s. Though occupying its current facilities since 1974, at which time there were some sixty believers in attendance, the present assembly had been functioning prior to that date. For three years, following the sale of an earlier building in 1969, meetings were held in the local YWCA; later on, the saints gathered in homes. The editor recalls attending meetings in the early 1970s in the home of Jean-Paul Berney also founded [[Assemblee Chretienne Cartier Avenue, whose leadership in this assembly carried on from well before his commendation in 1963 until his homecall in 2011. Quebec Citywith its suburb of Sainte-Foy was one of the first places touched by the spirit of revival that affected a number of centres throughout the Province in the seventies and early eighties. The work grew considerably and the assembly was then faced with the question of whether their building should be extended or whether it would be better to launch another assembly. With the blessing of the leadership, a second assembly was begun across the Saint Lawrence in 1983. More about this later. The present building in Sainte-Foy was eventually expanded to accommodate the still growing numbers. Early in the present century there were approximately eighty believers in fellowship with about one hundred and twenty in all attending regularly. Today, attendance is pretty much the same, QC|Assemblee Chretienne Cartier Avenue]] in 1955 the vicinity of one hundred with three-quarters of that met until merging with this assembly number fellowshipping at the Lord’s Supper. The numbers illustrates a “levelling off” phenomenon which has marked much of the evangelical work in 1960the province since before the turn of the century.
