What is dedication?

It is an opportunity to publicly declare your intentions to raise your child in the ways of the Lord. Dedication is not the salvation of a child, but a public expression of the fact that he or she belongs to God.

Why do we dedicate?
Why do we dedicate?

We dedicate children to the Lord because of biblical examples: Jesus’ Example (Luke 2:22), Jesus’ Teaching (Mark 10:13-16) and Hannah’s dedication of Samuel (1 Samuel 1:27). Also, we recognize that everything we have belongs to God including our children.

As a part of this dedication, parents are asked to:

  • Publicly affirm your personal faith in Christ and renew your dedication to Him and His Word.
  • Pray daily for God’s direction in your lives and in the lives of your children.
  • Be an example in service and worship for your children.
  • Teach your children the truth of God’s Word in your home.
  • Anticipate and seek to lead your children to a personal faith in Christ as soon as they are ready.
  • Recognize that your children belong to God and have been born to experience His love and to serve Him.

The celebrations happen twice a year. There will be a time for a teaching, prayer, and making a commitment to raise your child run the ways of the Lord. In addition we will pray for your child as a congregation during one of our Sunday services.
