Know Christ and Make Him Known
We believe that we have two main callings as a church. First, to know Christ and then to make Him known. To know Christ is the greatest joy that we can know, and as a church we help to facilitate this through our Worship Services and through our Small Groups and Discipleship programs. Once we know Christ, we have a longing for sharing this joy with the rest of the world and seek to make Him known. As a church we accomplish this through our missions programs at the local, regional, and international level. Whether it is a mission trip to the ends of the Earth or providing care for our local community, the goal is always the same, to share the love of Christ with everyone and help facilitate opportunities to make Him known. Canaan is a safe place for anyone to come and explore their faith, you don't have to have everything figured out before you get here, we are here to help you along every step of the way.
Our Process
To accomplish our mission we have three major areas of programming and emphasis at Canaan, Authentic Worship, Intentional Discipleship, and Missional Living. Authentic Worship isn't just our weekly worship services it is embodies the lives that we are called to live worshiping God and make Him our first priority in all that we do. Intentional Discipleship isn't just about small groups or family ministry, it's about all of our relationships and being intentional with those around us instead of just casually going through life as a bystander in our own story. Missional Living is certainly about sharing the Gospel, but it's not limited to trips and programs we put on it's about how we live our lives and the pursuit of the calling God has given each and every one of us. If you want to know more about our process or how we can help you engage in it through the programs we provide at Canaan email pastor@canaanbaptist.net so we can help.
