In 1944, Edward G. Dillon, a commended worker (since 1931) residing in Sturgis, [[Michigan]] commented in Light & Liberty's December issue that he was "much exercised about starting a work in Coldwater, Mich., where I was in business." By 1946, there was an open brethren breaking of bread meeting in his home near there. In 1954, it additionally held Sunday School meetings at the Lockwood Community Building. The assembly also hosted a radio broadcast every Sunday morning at 8:45 on WTVB Coldwater.
In 1959, a decision was made to merge the assembly with [[Lakeland Bible Chapel, MI|Lakeland Bible Chapel]] which met in nearby Quincy. The new location at that point was 124 S. Jefferson St. In 1965, the assembly was one of at least 46 in North America who sent a representative to the national [[CWCC advertisement LOI 1965-5|CWCC]] conference (sponsored by [[Letters of Interest]]).
This assembly continues to meet in 2025 at the Lighthouse of Tekonsha on 616 N. Main in that nearby town. See [https://assemblycare.org/dl/directory/s/8736a4/r/MjZ6KNGQT0mVAkMb0Liggw Assembly Care] for meeting times and correspondents.
