In dedicating their child to the Lord, parents are stating that they are willing to provide a biblical environment in their home. Accomplishing this is a challenge that will take spiritual maturity. It is the duty of the parents, through prayer and the moving of God’s Spirit, to create a desire for the things of God in a child, so that when they grow old, they will not depart from that spiritual training.
Age Suggestion for Dedication:
While child dedications are typically for babies, families are warmly welcome to participate and dedicate children up to the age of 5. We recognize that as children grow, they begin to develop their own understanding of faith. This dedication is a beautiful opportunity for parents to publicly commit to raising their children in the ways of the Lord, trusting Him with their family’s journey.
