In 1941, the assembly gathered for their Remembrance Meetings in a store front building at 44th and S. Robinson, which they called Grace Gospel Hall. During World War II, tent meetings were held for many years at 35th and S. Shields, the site of the present building, now called Grace Gospel Chapel.
Pioneering brethren came often to Oklahoma City to help build and encourage the assembly. Among them were Samuel Greer, Matthew Kennedy, Tommy Bush, [[[[Thomas Robert McCullagh|Tom McCullagh]]]], John Elliott, Leonard Lindsted, F.W. Schwartz, and more recently Don Norbie. Jim Elliot, the missionary martyred in Ecuador, was in the assembly while studying with Wycliffe Bible Translation.
Those in leadership over the years have been Carlton Jones, M.W. Gibbs, Ralph Burrs, Fred Hover, Ed Davis, Warren Bennett, James Davis, James Nelson, and Hugh Moore. Missionaries have been commended to the field in Equador and Africa. About 75 adults and children are in Grace Gospel Chapel today.
