Baby Dedication

In Luke 2:22 Mary and Joseph took Jesus to be presented to the Lord at the temple. Jewish law required the first born son to be dedicated at eight days. Today we bring our children before the church family to dedicate them to the Lord because we love the same Jesus who has become our own Lord and Savior. We acknowledge our need for God's wisdom and strength to raise this child. The act of dedication says we want God's best for this child. We want to be a good role model in harmony with God's Word and so be worthy of imitating. Child dedication does not insure salvation for a child; only personal salvation in Christ brings salvation. The dedication becomes public declaration of our desire as parents to raise this child in the "nurture and admonition of the Lord" (Ephesians. 6:1-4).

The next Baby Dedication will be scheduled soon. Please check back for details.

 

Baby Dedication Required Class

All parents dedicating their child for the first time are asked to attend a one-time informational class. It is not mandatory for all other parents, but is highly encouraged.
