Children
are a gift from God. We encourage and celebrate when parents bring their children
to church to have some of our leaders pray with them. Parents, we believe that being
part of a loving church family can help you raise your children in the ways of
the Lord. It is in this church family that your children will receive love, grow
in the knowledge of the Lord, and even find their purpose.
This dedication is not a
Baptism, and it does not impart salvation to the child. Baby Dedications are
viewed as a confirmation between the parents and the church to raise the child in
a Godly way until the child is old enough to make his/her decision in accepting
Christ as his/her personal Saviour.
Child dedication is a
public commitment you make before God, the church, and family. It is a public
dedication service that provides you, the parent(s), an opportunity to express your
desire to lead and spiritually nurture your child in cooperation with the Holy
Spirit. Children are dedicated to the Lord on the second Sunday of each month.
