Baby Dedication

CONGRATULATIONS on the birth of your new baby! In the midst of all that is changing in your home with the addition of your newest family member, we invite you to take a moment to focus on what really matters most.

Dedicate is an opportunity for new parents to present their child to the Lord and make public their commitment to teach their child the truths of the Christian faith, to set a Christian example before them, to bring their child up in the instruction and discipline of the Lord, and to encourage their child to accept Christ as his or her Savior under the guidance of the Holy Spirit.

To accomplish this, parents must dedicate time, love, attention, and so much more. No one will have more influence on your child than YOU! It is our hope that we can partner with you from the very beginning. We want to be your biggest fans, your strongest supporters, and your trusted guides as you raise your child to know what it means to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

Dedicate is more than a baby dedication event and is not an infant baptism. We believe that when people are old enough to understand what it means to put their faith and trust in Jesus Christ as their personal Savior, they should have the opportunity to make that choice for themselves. A preschooler may not be able to understand sin, forgiveness, the sacrifice our Savior made for us, and what it means to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

Dedicate is both the opportunity for you to take some time at the beginning of your journey as a parent to really think about what will matter the most in the life of your child; to really talk together and decide what you value and what you can do today that will have the greatest impact on your child’s future and a celebration of your commitment. We are excited to be a part of your family’s spiritual growth and are honored to be a part of this special time in your life.

Parents must attend a Dedicate class in order to participate in the Dedication Celebration. Dedication Celebrations are held three times a year.

We look forward to celebrating this special event with you!
