Honoring God Through Child Dedication
As a church, we want to celebrate the life of your child alongside you and your family. Child dedications in our church are a way we can take time and pray as a church family and agree together with you and your family to raise your child together under the guiding of the Word of God and the Holy Spirit.
We believe in the next generation and in the future of your child’s journey to discover their own relationship with Jesus. The Bible says that it is an act of obedience by parents to offer their baby to the Lord (Mark 10:13). It is a public declaration of their intention as parents to lay a foundation of Godly principles, with an intention to raise their child with Christian values (Deut 6:5-7) and to guide and educate their child in accordance with God’s work (Eph 6:14).
Celebrating a moment when parents bring their little ones to church to have our pastors pray over them shows this act of obedience." Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up." Deuteronomy 6:5-7.
