Canaan's Principles

Every believer is called by God to be a full-time servant of the Gospel, to serve him in his local, new testament church, and to represent.

Christ twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, in our homes, on our jobs, in our community, and anywhere else we might be found.

Therefore, the purpose of Canaan Baptist church is to aid every member in their personal ministries. Every ministry at Canaan Baptist church is an opportunity for us to improve spiritually and to serve God and others.

  • Jesus Christ

    Jesus Christ is the head of the church (Ephesians 5:23). He expects every church to follow His leadership. Thus, at Canaan we honestly seek the Lord’s will in everything we do. That makes us a theocracy, God ruled, rather than a democracy, autocracy, oligarchy, or any other type of government.

  • Holy Spirit

    Jesus sent the Holy Spirit to administrate the affairs of the church. Thus, we should do likewise, and seek His leadership. The Holy Spirit has guided church decisions from the very beginning. In the word of God according to Acts13:2-4, the Holy Spirit told the prophets and teachers of the church at Antioch that Barnabus.

  • Baptism

    In addition to serving Christ in a ministry of the church, there are two ordinances which the Lord has instructed us to observe as a church. The first ordinance is baptism. The Lord requires that every believer be baptized after they are saved, being immersed in water, by an authorized representative of His church. Only after a believer is baptized, will the Lord add him to a church. Acts 2:41.

Lord's Supper

The second ordinance to observe in the church is the Lord’s Supper, also called communion. First Corinthians 11:23-29, describes this ordinance. We observe the Lord’s supper in remembrance of what Christ has done for us, His death and resurrection, and His covenant with us. This ordinance is a very serious and important time of personal reflection, renewing commitments, and surrendering all to Christ.

1st Corinthians 11:30 lets us know those who did not regard the Lord's supper as important were chastised by the Lord with ill health.
