Institut biblique Béthel in Sherbrooke, Québec, was founded in 1948and functioned under this name until 1993 when it was turned over to Word of Life International with headquarters in Schroon Lake, New York.The school continues to operate today under the name of Parole de Vie-Béthel (Word of Life-Bethel). Although an interdenominational effort from the outset, nonetheless five of the institute's six directors were from Brethren assemblies. These include Walter Angst, Dr. Sheldon Bard, Norman Buchanan, Dr. Homer Payne and Richard Strout. Dr. Arthur C. Hill, M.D., from Grace Chapel in Sherbrooke, was its first chairman of the board and served in that capacity for many years. Many of its staff and faculty came from francophone assemblies around the province. Its history appears in ''The Bethel Story'' compiled by Margaret Payne and published by the school.
