Baby Dedication
Presenting a child for dedication signifies your faith in the Christian religion, as well as your desire that the child may know and follow God. Jesus said, ‘Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these” (Matthew 19:13-14). We are excited to partner with you, as you guide and raise your child in the way of the Lord!
Allow a two-week minimum when requesting a specific dedication date. While every effort is made to accommodate a requested date and time, at times it may be necessary to adjust due to the flow of the Worship Services.
