Over the years, the assembly has experienced its proverbial “ups and downs”, one high point coming in the late 70s and early 80s following on the heels of Quebec’s ''Quiet Revolution''. Attendance at the chapel increased dramatically, thanks in part to a Coffee House program carried on in downtown Sherbrooke. Not a few came to know the Lord through this effort, some eventually going on to become leaders in the French work throughout the province. The facilities were eventually expanded to meet the needs of a growing assembly.
With the passing of Arnold Reynolds, [[Norman Buchanan]] and others who were part of the foundation and early years of the work, new leadership came on the scene. In 2006, a sixtieth anniversary celebration brought together many who had, at one time or another, been part of the assembly. Today, the assembly ][ finds itself to be a place of refuge and/or temporary passage for hurting Christians from other congregations.
