About Our Church

A lot has changed since the birth of Mount Canaan Baptist Church in 1894. Just like the love of God, our mission and goal for our community has remained the same. Under the leadership of our dynamic visionary, Greg L. Oliver, we've been able to experience significant growth. Our membership has increased by well over two hundred members since Pastor Oliver was installed as the seventeenth pastor of Mount Canaan in 2018. We have continued as a leading congregation in transforming ourselves and others into the image of Jesus Christ. God has sustained Mount Canaan through the unprecedented times of a coronavirus pandemic, as He has remained faithful to His promises to those who have made Him Lord and Savior. Pastor Oliver, in his commitment to God, encourages us to be both productive and impactful in our service to others. Mount Canaan will continue to move forward to spread the love of God throughout our community and city. We pray that you come to see what our ministries have to offer. See you at the mount!
