Pastors of Quadeville Pentecostal Church & Brief History
Quadeville Pentecostal Church had its beginnings in the early 1930’s with pioneers like George Bombay and James Montgomery. As the story goes, Julia Quade was sick, and Rev. Bombay came and prayed for her. This simple act resulted in an interest in the “things of God.” Some time after this event, Rev. Montgomery attended a local event (possibly a funeral) at which he was told that the village needed someone to come and preach in the vacant Lutheran church. Soon after, the church which had begun in the home of Leonard Quade, then moved to the Lutheran church building “downtown” under the pioneering work of Rev. Lorne Hughes, a minister who came to the area from Ottawa and had been living at the Quade’s sawmill boarding house. Rev. Nathanael MacIntosh came to serve the church in 1937. He and his wife Barbara rented a room which also served as a
meeting place for the church in the winter since the Lutheran church was not winterized. Sometime between 1942 and 1947, construction of the first church building occurred under the direction of the pastor, Rev. Roy Hilton. The old Lutheran church was sold to the Pentecostal church, and the lumber was salvaged and used to build the new church and the parsonage on the back side of it. The Lord continually blessed the church over the years. When the local Evangelical United Brethren churches joined the United Church of Canada in the early 1960s, membership at the Pentecostal church increased. Approximately thirty years later in 1973, under the leadership of Rev. Murray Steacy, a new brick building was built across the street, up on the little hill.
The new building located at 3524A Quadeville Road has been a lighthouse on a hill for the village of Quadeville from 1973 onward to this present day. In that first year, QPC received a government grant and a small loan from the Pentecostal Assemblies of Canada to help with the cost of building the new modern church. While the old church across the way served the community well, the new church
was built to hold over 150 people, had a beautiful kitchen in the basement, multiple bathrooms, and rooms for Sunday School children and youth. The mid-seventies was a time of growth. Pastor Steacy reported an average attendance of 85 people in 1975. Giving to PAOC missions, the Ottawa Valley Pentecostal Campground, and Eastern Pentecostal Bible College was always priority for this church. The faithful to QPC were hardworking volunteers of their time and talents. Not only this, so many businessmen of the area generously donated much of the building materials for the construction and upkeep of this church. Joyful giving always led to the Lord’s overflow. In 1983, Pastor Holloway was thrilled to burn the church mortgage, and in 1998 a new manse, paid off in just ten years (2008), was built behind the church with the help of many volunteer workers. God had been faithful to His children and continues to be faithful to us today!
