Over the years, the assembly experienced its proverbial “ups and downs.” One of the high points came 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 activity carried on in downtown Sherbrooke. Many came to know the Lord through this effort, some eventually going on to become leaders in the French work elsewhere in the province.
In response to increasing pastoral responsibilities, [[Claude Quéval]] and his wife Muriel were commended to the work at the chapel in October 1979. The facilities were expanded in 1983 to meet the needs of a growing assembly. Five years later a sister assembly, Source de Vie (now [[Église du Mont-Bellevue]]), was begun in nearby Lennoxville to further relieve the problem of overcrowding. In 1993 By 1995 the Quévals moved on. Since then, this elder-led assembly has again carried on without a full-time commended worker.
With the passing of Norman Buchanan (1996) and Arnold Reynolds (2004) as well as other early participants, new leadership has continued to come on the scene. In 2006, a sixtieth anniversary celebration brought together many who had, at one time or another, been part of this local assembly. Today, the work continues, often finding itself to be a place of refuge or temporary passage for hurting Christians from other congregations.
