About 1927, several families left Grace and Truth Gospel Hall over an issue with reception at the Lord's table, and leased space down the road from what was once Newbern Brethren in Christ church. The families included:
- Benjamin F. Jury (1870-1947)
- George & Elizabeth Roggendorff
- Jonathan Roggendorff
- George Gruen and family
- Carl Botz and his wife May
- Linneas Engle (b. 1862 PA)
This assembly is thought to have been aligned with the Grant exclusives. Tom Robson, a grandson of George & Elizabeth Roggendorff, a retired pastor, born in 1930, remembers visiting the Newbern meeting when he was a child, probably when he was six or seven, which would suggest the assembly was still active in 1936 or 1937, but he does not recall when it folded, but T. Lee Gruen thinks it only met a few years. There was also a Tunbridge-Wells exclusive assembly around this time that met in the Abilene area, and it was the 1930's when Elm Springs Bible Hall hived off of Grace and Truth.
