Deer Lake Gospel Hall is an open brethren assembly that has been meeting in Port Sydney, [[Ontario|ON]], [[Canada]] since 1890.
=Early Correspondents=
Mr. David Scott came to Deer Lake in 1889 or 1890 and found some receptive to the gospel. He found an old school in which to preach and labored until he saw an assembly planted. He even brought his bride here and stayed until he saw a hall built—the Deer Lake Gospel Hall. The Christians, under Mr. Scott’s direction, built the little Gospel Hall on a piece of land across from the lake on the north side of Stephenson Road 1 in 1897.
In addition to Mr. Scott, some of the early preachers were Mr. N. D. Brown, Mr. J. J. Rouse, Mr. McCartney, Mr. McClintock, Mr. Fred Watson, Mr. Telfer, Mr. Shivas, Mr. Sylvester, Mr. Steen, Mr. Jim Lyons, Mr. Omen Omer Sprunt, Mr. Herb Harris, & Mr. E.D. Heels.
One early member in the assembly was Mr. Herbert Taylor who was saved in 1891, baptized in Deer Lake, and received into the Deer Lake assembly. He moved west in 1901 and settled near Taylorside, Saskatchewan (named after him). Brother Taylor was responsible for the forming of the Taylorside assembly.
