Infant Dedication

 

It is exciting when a new child enters a family.  There is no greater moment than when

parents acknowledge a child as a gift and responsibility given to them by God. 

An infant dedication service is one in which the parents present their child before the

Lord and the congregation and ask for His grace and wisdom to carry out their

responsibilities.  At that time the parents make a serious vow to raise this child to the

best of their ability with the help of the Lord. This is also a time in which parents and

congregation pray that the child will one day accept Jesus Christ as their personal Savior.

 

Who may participate?  Any adult believer may participate in this dedication to Christian

parenting, if they serve in that capacity in the child's life.  This may include extended

family members or godparents.

 

What age child may participate?  We suggest that dedication be limited to newborns

through six months.  

 

For more information, please read the infant dedication brochure.
