Canaan Missionary Baptist Church

Plan your visit

Let us know you are coming

You do not have to tell us a thing — the door on Trask Parkway is open to you either way. But if you let us know, someone will be watching for you, and a first visit stops feeling like a first visit.

“I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.”

Psalm 122:1
Canaan Missionary Baptist Church — the red brick church with a blue roof and a white steeple on Trask Parkway in Sheldon, South Carolina

You are welcome here

However you come to us, you are welcome just as you are

Maybe you have been in church your whole life. Maybe it has been years, and you are not sure what you would even say at the door. Either way, you are wanted at Canaan — not once you have sorted something out, but exactly as you are this Sunday.

We are an ordinary congregation of the lowcountry: farmers and nurses, grandparents and young families, folks who have been here for decades and folks who came for the first time last month. What holds us together is not that we have it all figured out. It is the Lord, and His Word, and the joy of being His family.

Come exactly as you are

There is no dress code here. Some wear their Sunday best, some come in a pressed shirt or clean jeans, and nobody is counting. Come with a heart ready to worship and that is enough.

Nobody will put you on the spot

You will not be asked to stand up, to speak, or to give anything as a visitor. Sit where you like, sing as much as you like, and simply be with us.

Your children are welcome

Bring them. Sunday School at 10:00 AM has classes for every age, and a restless little one in the service has never bothered anybody at Canaan.

This is the door we are hoping you will walk through.

Tell us you are coming

Two questions are all we really need — your name and an email in case anything changes. Everything else just helps us look after you.

Or call the church at 843-846-4175

We use what you send only to welcome you — nobody is added to a mailing list and nothing is shared.

Not sure which one?

Four ways to gather with us

Any of them is a fine first visit. If you cannot decide, Sunday Worship at 11:00 AM is where most folks begin — and the livestream at noon is there for anyone who cannot make it in person.

Sunday

10:00 AM

Sunday School

Classes for every age, from the youngest to the oldest. We open the Scriptures together and talk about what they mean for the week ahead.

Come a few minutes early and someone will walk you to a class.

Sunday

Sunday Worship

Our main gathering of the week — singing, prayer, the reading and preaching of God’s Word, and the fellowship of the church family.

Streams live at 12:00 PM on YouTube and Facebook — join us from home if you cannot be here.

SundayLive

12:00 PM

Sunday Livestream

The Sunday service is streamed live at noon on YouTube and on the church’s Facebook page, and past services stay on the channel to watch any time.

Open YouTube or the church’s Facebook page with the buttons below.

Wednesday

5:00 PM

Bible Study

A mid-week hour in the Word. Bring your Bible, bring your questions, and bring a friend — this is where the congregation digs in together.

Mid-week is the best place to get to know us.

Everything is held at 908 Trask Pkwy, Sheldon, SC 29941. Watching from home instead? Sunday worship streams live at 12:00 PM on @canaanbaptistofsheldon on YouTube and at Canaan Missionary Baptist Church Sheldon on Facebook.

How it works

Three small steps, and then you are here

There is nothing to prepare and nothing to bring. This is the whole of it.

01

Tell us you are coming

Fill in the short form below — your name, an email, and which service you have in mind. It takes under a minute.

02

We get a text right away

Your note goes straight to the church, so someone knows to look for you and can answer any question you left.

03

Come and be welcomed

Arrive a few minutes early if you can, and someone will meet you at the door, walk you in, and help you find a seat.

Getting here

908 Trask Pkwy, Sheldon, South Carolina

We are on Trask Parkway in Sheldon, between Beaufort and Yemassee. There is parking on the church grounds, and room to pull right up to the front door if you need to be dropped off.

Cannot make it in person this week? Sunday worship streams live at 12:00 PM on both YouTube and Facebook.

Come and see for yourself

Nothing on a page can take the place of being in the room. Tell us you are coming, or just come — the door is open and the people are glad you came.
