CHURCH HISTORY & CHURCH LIFE
The church in London began with a home meeting in the late 1960s. By 1975 it had grown to about 15 saints, most of whom had been saved from the community. Around the end of that year there was a migration of 6 saints from Toronto and 6 saints from Vancouver to strengthen the church here. By 1983 the church had outgrown the storefront that it had used as its meeting hall. The church purchased the property at 725 Viscount Road and began to build a meeting hall there. Almost all the construction work was done by the brothers and the hall was completed in May 1984. Also in 1984 the Lord began to add Spanish speaking people who had recently come to Canada as refugees from Central America. By 1994 the church had again outgrown the meeting hall and built an addition to the hall which was larger than the original one. In 1998 a number of saints from London began meeting as the church in Metcalfe, a rural community west of London. Then in 2006 saints from the church here began visiting relatives of the saints who were living in Central America. Through preaching the gospel there by saints from London, churches have been raised up in Nicaragua, El Salvador, and Guatemala. Beginning in 2018 the church in London joined with other churches in Southern Ontario to care for about 15 new families in rural communities in southwest Ontario who are desirous to gain the Lord and enter in a practical church life.
