How it all started...
In the summer of 1956, Lawrence Mobley saw the population growth in southeast Springfield and felt there was a need for another congregation in that part of town.
He began work on the original building at 2145 E. Grand St. (across the street from the present building), which was completed in the spring of 1957. The first meeting was June 23, 1957. The congregation was called Eastside Church of Christ.
The church was renamed East Grand Church of Christ at the second business meeting.
The church purchased land at the corner of East Grand Street and Barnes Avenue in 1969. Ground was broken for construction in 1971 and the building was completed in December 1971.

Keep It Kleen Ministry is a street hygiene ministry that shares the love of Christ with those in the community that are homeless. We put together care packages filled with basic hydien necessities like shampoo, cinditioner, body wash, soap, tooth paste, deoderant, wash clothes ect. After we fill and pray over these care packages we go out into the streets to find those in need. The people we reach will know the love of Christ like we do. We take the time to pray with our new friends and always invite them to come to church.
