Grant Memorial Church

What Grant Memorial Church does

Grant Memorial Church is a Winnipeg-based Baptist church (also operating as Grant Church and Winnipeg Baptist Church) that provides weekly worship services, community programming, and faith formation across all age segments, from nursery through seniors. The church operates a single campus at 877 Wilkes Avenue, Winnipeg, offering a combined Sunday service at 10:15 am alongside online livestreaming via YouTube. Its ministry portfolio includes age-segmented programs (Grant Kids, Multiply for grades 5-7, Heart & Soul for grades 8-12, Young Adults, Women's and Men's ministries, Seniors), small groups, mission trips (including recurring Ecuador trips managed via the Managed Missions platform), counseling and care services, and the differentiated CareConnections program supporting foster and adoptive families.

The church's technology stack is built entirely on standard third-party platforms: Wix for the website, Church Center for member management and forms, YouTube for livestreaming, Spotify for the Grant Podcast, and a library catalog system (rmwebopac.com) for the Grant Library. It produces original digital content including the Within video series, baptism stories, and recurring worship content, but discloses no proprietary technology, no AI/ML capabilities, and no mobile applications. Facility operations include a Grant Cafe (food services shared with Linden Christian School), a physical library, and property management serving both the church and the co-located K-12 school.

The business model is non-profit religious organization funded by voluntary tithes, offerings, and online giving (classified as subscription_recurring in the data). The church is governed by a Board of Trustees elected by members and a Council of Elders (established 2021) for spiritual oversight. It is closely affiliated with two related entities: Linden Christian School, a K-12 independent Christian school with over 1,000 students and 120+ staff operating on the Grant Church campus with shared facilities and food services, and Lindenholm Ministries Inc., a related Christian ministry organization. Leadership comprises Lead Pastors Cam Stephens and Steve Bock, Director of Operations Jeff Job, and a ministry team covering children, youth, worship, care, digital communities, missions, and property/food services.
