Eglise Alliance Chrétienne et Missionnaire (ACM) de Rimouski, Quebec, Canada

Our church longs to share God's love all around us. Our desire is to see our neighbourhood, Rimouski, and the province of Quebec be transformed deeply by God's powerful love. Come share God's love with us.

We desire to see Christians rise as influential leaders in their workplaces and lives. We believe in the power of community and the sharing of Biblical ideas.

The C&MA in Quebec was established in 1891 and incorporated in 1930. In 1983, the C&MA in Quebec became an official district within the C&MA in Canada, known as the St. Lawrence District.

Today, the St. Lawrence District is comprised of about 30 faith communities, several being new church plants. We are grateful for the cultural and ethnic diversity that is expressed in our churches.

When I think of the rainbow, I think of the sun shining out after a thundercloud burst — something furious and dark but over. But the story of the first rainbow didn't come after a little cloud burst, it came after 40 days and 40 nights of the heavens and the earth breaking forth in flood and washing over the earth in a torrent wiping out every living thing. The rainbow was a sign of a promise — a covenant — between God and every living creature on earth — that there would never again be a flood that would destroy all life. God's love written in the sky.

And there is another rainbow in the Bible, in the Book of Revelations, and it might be key to understanding these times - an eternal rainbow in heaven. John saw it when he was transported there by the Spirit... God on his throne, and a rainbow that shines like an emerald encircling the throne.
