Canaan Baptist Church

About this church

Canaan Baptist Church in Bessemer, Alabama, is a member of the Southern Baptist Convention and the Alabama Baptist State Board of Missions, and holds to the Baptist Faith and Message. Sunday begins with Sunday School for all ages at 9:15 a.m., followed by worship at 10:30 a.m. Worship combines contemporary and traditional music with preaching that works through the whole of Scripture. Dress ranges from jeans to business casual. Another page on the site lists the student worship hour at 11 a.m., so confirm the current Sunday schedule on the website. A livestream page is also available for those who cannot attend in person.

Canaan Kids serves children from birth through fifth grade, with check-in at a welcome desk and age-appropriate rooms for Bible stories and missions activities. Children in third grade and younger can attend children's church during worship. Middle and high school students meet upstairs for Bible study on Sunday mornings, and Canaan Students meets on Wednesday evenings for sixth through twelfth grade. Wednesday also brings a morning choir and Bible study geared toward senior adults, plus an evening of adult Bible study and choir. The church encourages every member to join a small group, and membership involves a conversation with a pastor.
