For the first decade, evangelistic meetings were conducted here each Sunday morning with folk attending the Breaking of Bread at Grace Chapel in the evening. Application was made on November 12, 1967, to Grace Chapel for permission to become a local autonomous assembly. This was granted and plans for a building were formulated. Lyn and June Taylor joined around this time. Mr. and Mrs. W. Buchanan, Arthur Clymer, and Mr. and Mrs. Ken Sparkes also helped a great deal in many ways.

 In In the early seventies, Maplemount Children's Home, of which Roger Gurnett was then director, moved his family from Cookshire to Huntingville. For several years, the Gurnett family and they were an inspiration and great help to the communityfor several years. They were followed in the leadership by Bob and Eleanor Seale. Bob being a graduate of Dallas Seminary, his preaching and pastoral care were most helpful. Commended workers who, among others, have laboured here include Les and Margaret Picard, Gordon and Charlotte Warnholtz, Mark and Laurie Strout, Bob and Wendy Pond, David and Nancy Dytynyshyn.

 In 2011, the congregation sold its building in Huntingville and moved to within a stone's throw of Bishops University in Lennoxville, The Catholic Church in the centre of town was purchased and remodeled at significant expense. Today the congregation numbers over 300 and provides services to university students as well as outreach activities into the community. The Lord’s Supper is celebrated monthly.
