Child Dedication

We believe that dedicating a child to God is more than just a ritual. The dedication of a child is a public commitment by the parents to do their very best to raise their child to be a follower of Jesus Christ and it is an opportunity for our pastor to pronounce a blessing on the child. The scripture basis we use for the ceremony is found in 1 Samuel 1:27–28 NLT.
