CanaanKids Programs

Our Children's Ministry Team look forward to teaching God's truths and sharing God's love with your child.

Canaan's Children’s Ministry values the following 2 B's...Being On Time and Being Prepared.  We greatly appreciate parents bringing child/children to programs on time and prepared.

Being On Time shows your child/children that worshiping God is important and shows respect to the speaker/teacher who is leading the worship or class.

Being Prepared allows your child to fully participate in activities with necessary supplies that may include Bible or personal items like jacket, snack, and water bottle.

See chart at bottom of this page for information about our Sunday programs by age/grade groups and times.
