— A NEW CHAPTER IN A FAITHFUL STORY
Rooted in Webster. Looking toward the future.
Canaan Webster continues the story of Sherwood Baptist Church, which began serving Webster Groves in 1959. For more than sixty years, this congregation has worshiped, served, and invested in this community — and that story isn’t over.
Today, our church family is filled with young children and young families worshiping alongside founding members who have loved this neighborhood for generations. As a campus of Canaan Baptist Church, we share one mission: connecting people to God, people, and purpose. We are grateful for the faithfulness of those who came before us, and we are excited about what God is continuing to do through Canaan Webster.

— WHAT TO EXPECT
You don’t have to know what
to do before you arrive.
10:30
Worship together.
Congregational singing, prayer, and biblical preaching centered on Jesus. Come dressed comfortably - you’ll see everything from suits to t-shirts.
10:15
Pull in.
On-site parking, one clearly marked main entrance. Our team will meet you, help check in your children, and answer questions.
~10:45
Kids Dismissed.
After three worship songs, children are dismissed to Kids Connection
Children remain with their families for the first three worship songs before being dismissed to their own environments. We value families worshiping together, which means the room may occasionally be a little louder - and we’re glad. Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me,” and children are part of the church family here.
~11:40
That’s it.
The whole service runs about 70 minutes. Stick around and say hi, or head straight out — no pressure either way.
Children in Worship
— CANAAN KIDS AT WEBSTER
Safe, joyful, and centered on Jesus.
Canaan Kids serves children from six weeks through 5th grade.
Children worship with their families during the opening portion of the service, then head to age-appropriate environments designed to help them know and follow Jesus.
First-time registration takes a few minutes because we take the safety of every child seriously. You can register when you arrive - or save time by telling us about your family before Sunday, and our team will have your profile ready when you walk in.
