In the summer of 1966, initial contact was made with a couple in Saint-Hyacinthe which resulted in their salvation. For a number of years after this, home meetings for Bible study were held in an apartment building purchased by commended worker [[Raymond Taylor]]. Following his graduation from [[Bethel Bible School]] in Sherbrooke, as part of the school’s very first graduating class, Raymond had already given a helping hand at Thetford Mines and then in Montréal where he was continuing to develop a new work in the east end of the city.
By the late 70s, help was needed and had been called for. Commended workers [[Robert Thrall]] and wife Carolyn, though living at quite a distance from the assembly, were giving a helping hand. By 1990 they had moved to Saint-Hyacinthe and would continue there until their departure shortly after the turn of the century. Since then, the assembly has functioned without a resident worker. In 2019 it was reported that some forty believers were still meeting here regularly.
