Funds can be accepted only for programs or projects that are within the purposes of Grant Memorial Baptist Church and that have been approved by the Deacon Board.

Each gift designated toward a board-approved program or project will be used as designated.

When any given need has been met, or where projects cannot be carried out for reasons beyond the ability of the Deacon Board to control, the donor agrees that gifts designated for such purposes may be used by Grant Memorial Baptist Church in carrying out its other programs.

Registered Charity Status

• Stewardship is the proper and generous use of our time, talents and treasures.

• Stewardship is all that we do with our lives after we profess our faith.

• Stewardship is joyfully returning to God a portion of that which God has given us.

• Stewardship is sharing with Christ’s body all the gifts that God has entrusted to us.

As a church – congregation, volunteers, leaders and staff – it is our desire to manage well what God has given to Grant Memorial. God has abundantly blessed us. Grant is one of the largest churches in Winnipeg; Linden Christian School is the largest independent school in Manitoba and one of the largest in Western Canada; and Lindenholm Ministries is a unique ministry providing homes to seniors right on our campus. Every inch of our facility is actively used for ministry seven days each week.
