WHY BIBLE CLASSES?

Maybe you’re wondering why we offer Bible classes, when we already learn about God through our weekly sermons. Our classes are a different type of interactive learning environment where you can go deeper into your study of God and his word. You can ask questions, wrestle with ideas, and learn and grow with others.  Our classes run for 12 weeks, so that also means you can really dig into a topic or book of the Bible in more depth and detail. Our classes are also a great place to meet and connect with other believers and be encouraged by their shared stories and insights.

  • Questions about current and upcoming class offerings - please contact our deacon over education, Shawn White.

24-Hours of Prayer

  • Canyon Church of Christ (map)
  • Google Calendar ICS

Since the very beginning in 2003 when Canyon church was first being planted, prayer has always been a part of who we are. We’ve held several prayer vigils over the years, especially during crucial moments in our lives. In 2012 as our buildings were being finished, we spent 24-hours in prayer over the godly work that would take place at this location. And for most of the years since then, we’ve started each new year by focusing on God, and bringing our praises and our concerns to Him prayer. We do this because prayer keeps us centered on God’s will (1 John 5:14-15) and because God hears us when we pray (Psalm 66:18-20).
