Evangelists Alexander Lamb and W. Beveridge secured a hall in Matoaca, [[Virginia]] in 1895 with only planks for seats, but the place was crowded. A tent season followed and there were very few homes in that village that did not witness the grace of God in the salvation of some of the members of their families. The preachers Lamb, Bradford and James Hamilton from Scotland built Matoaca Gospel Hall for the new assembly in the summer of 1895, which continues to meet in the original building.
A report from 1896 in ''The Believer's Magazine'' from Ireland gave this report: "Alex. Lamb, W. Beveridge, and James Hamilton have had six months' work at Matoaca, where the Lord saved many souls. After the tent came down, a hall was built in which the work goes on. An assembly of over forty is now gathered there in the Lord's Name. Let saints praise the Lord for this, and pray that they may go on following the Lord fully.
