Children and Youth MinistY

The vision of the Canaan Christian Church Children and Youth Ministry is to partner with parents to nurture children and youth in the Word of God.  Our purpose is to equip them to become disciples of Jesus Christ by teaching them to develop a strong prayer life, inspiring them to love, worship, and faithfully follow God throughout their lives.

The Children and Youth Ministry at Canaan Christian Church is made up of five components:

  1. Canaan’s Children Zone
  2. Children/Youth Connection Group Bible Study
  3. Believers Service
  4. Impact Service
  5. Dare to Dream Youth Empowerment

CANAAN'S Children Zone

The purpose of Canaan’s Children Zone is to provide an atmosphere and opportunity where children can be nurtured with the Word of God with the intent of leading them to know Christ as Lord and Savior. This aspect of our children’s ministry takes place on Sunday morning while their parents are engaged in worship in the sanctuary.

Children/Youth Connection Group Bible Study


The purpose of the Children/Youth Connection Group Bible Study is to help children and youth to learn the books of the Bible, to understand basic Christian doctrines, and to help them to see the application of scripture to their present life.



Middle and High School Connection Group Bible Study


Welcome Parents!  We are excited to share with you the new curriculum we will be teaching from this year, entitled, The Jesus Studies.   Each week you will be able to access the parent letter that will recap the previous Sunday's lesson.  We encourage you to read the particular scripture verses and utilize the prompts and tips to engage in meaningful discussions with your child to ensure they have a clear understanding of the lesson they experienced on Sunday.

We have also provided a copy of the Student Devotional your child will receive in class each Sunday for the next 3 weeks.  These devotions can be engaged in throughout the week and will further help your child to grow in their personal relationship with the Lord.
