Canaan Baptist Church has been serving the Washington, D.C. religious community since 1947. It is dedicated to the edification of glorifying our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Canaan has made many contributions in the moral humane, and religious growth of the community through the struggles of faithful members, both past and present. Today\'s Canaan Baptist Church is a vibrant church family that has gotten its second wind. Our church is in a period of transition as we are starting to see that our community, our way of thinking and our purposes as a people is changing right before our eyes.
