SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — The East Grand Church of Christ just kicked off the 10th year of its partnership with Bingham Elementary, a low-income public school near the church.
The effort includes before- and after-school programs and a winter basketball program.
“We serve these people with no strings attached, no church membership required,” BASH coordinator Ramona Brown said. “However, we build relationships intentionally. We give priority to our Bingham family, and many souls have been saved in the process.”
School Principal Adam Meador said, “The East Grand connection in Bingham helps to make Bingham the place it is today.”
