What better place for children to grow, learn and be nurtured than in a church that respects and values them, than in a church that welcomes small hands, than in a church that smiles at cookie crumbs and noise, than in a church that weeps at the prayer of a tiny voice. Canaan Church delights in children and embraces them in our children’s ministry. We desire to provide a safe, happy and loving environment and to partner with parents in teaching children how to shine with the love of Jesus Christ. The following descriptions will tell you a little more about our children’s ministries.


Worship Ministries:

A nursery is provided at  our 10:30 Worship Celebration service and is staffed by dedicated volunteers who cherish the opportunity to “rock and play.”

A Children’s sermon is given during the Worship Celebration that gives a simple message connecting the word of God to their young lives.

Children’s Church is available after the children’s sermon for preschool-kindergarten children. The children adjourn to a classroom for art and Bible games.

Sunday School:

Children's Sunday school is at 9:15 am and serves children from birth through grade 5. For our younger children, a nursery and a more traditional style of Sunday School is offered, while our pre-kindergarteners through 5th graders participate in a Workshop Rotation style of Sunday school.

Workshop Rotation recognizes that children have different abilities and ways of learning and provides an exciting and interactive way for them to explore Bible truths and stories. The children are grouped into classes by age, and each Sunday the classes rotate to a new room for new activities and adventures in God’s word. Just imagine…making your own butter, sifting through sand for pieces of a scroll, watching a movie about the Nativity, and making goodie bags for the residents at the homeless shelter. 

If you are visiting with us head down the stairs. There you will find a warm and happy welcome.


Seasonal Activities:
Throughout the year we find special ways to celebrate church seasons with our children. These include an Easter Egg Hunt and Breakfast with Santa, held the first Saturday in December.


“Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”
Matthew 19:14
