Canaan Baptist Church, Baptist church in Bessemer, Alabama.

The church structure features a main sanctuary building constructed in 1961, located at coordinates 33.401667 latitude and -86.964167 longitude in Alabama.

Established in 1865 by W. M. Grimes, this congregation emerged from members who previously attended the white-dominated Canaan Baptist Church before the Civil War.

The church congregation established a Community Development Credit Union in 1964 to provide financial support and equal opportunity loans to local residents.

The National Register of Historic Places designation provides opportunities for federal tax credits when undertaking building rehabilitation and preservation projects.

The City of Bessemer condemned the previous church building in 1959, leading to the construction of the current structure between 1960 and 1961.

Location: Alabama
