 This ministry functions as an information bank for the elders, ministry leaders and members who have a need of information concerning the overall family. First, an accurate up to date membership roll is maintained. The roll supports an accurate complete picture directory as well as provides data for determining those absent from all activities. These records permit the ministry to know where every member is and what their assigned duties are. Through data analysis recommends attendance goals and proposes methods/plans to accomplish them. Because of the detailed information maintained the ministry coordinates such activities as showers for members, welcome/going away parties, housing, transportation, meals for visiting speakers and coordinates expressions of sympathy from the entire family in the form of flowers, cards, visits and meals.
Personal Evangelism focuses on conducting Bible studies in home and in the office with those individuals that are interested in learning more about the gospel and having a desire to become a Christian. Encouraging study of scripture as it relates to each Christian's role in evangelism, recruiting and training soul winners to be actively involved in teaching the lost, coordinating programs within the church to enhance our desire and ability in personal evangelism.

 The Grant Street educational program offers Bible study classes from cradle roll age to senior citizens.
We believe the Bible is the inspired work of God and contains all the revelation of His will for man. We believe He has given to the world all things that pertain to life and godliness. Because of this truth, we are devoted to developing Bible knowledge and wisdom to sustain each member in daily Christian living. In all areas of our educational ministry (infants, preschool, primary, teens college and adults), we strive to provide an opportunity to study God’s word in an atmosphere of love and excitement from dedicated talented teachers. Each year a curriculum is presented that contains a balance of the Old and New Testaments by including both topical and textual studies. Each subject promotes a personal home study.

Being a Christian teenager presents many difficult challenges, yet we get our courage and strength from knowing that we are heirs with Christ. Through study, fellowship and friendship we lift up each other, exhort and motivate each other. We believe we are at the right place, the Grant Street Church of Christ. Devotionals, lock-ins, Lads to Leaders and Bible class all assist in drawing us closer to each other and Christ.
We do several Youth activities and we have a good balance of Fun Events and Spiritual Events. We try to combine them as much as possible. We participate in the Lads To Leaders program. Our goal is not to see how many trophies we can win, but to see how we can make each other grow closer to God, the Church and also to each other. We have a wonderful time in participating in Song Leading, Puppets, Speach, Good Samaritan and many other Lads to Leaders activities. We work on Good Samaritan during the summer and have a wonderful time visiting the Nursing Homes and Singing for the shut ins’.
