PARENT Dedication

What’s the difference between parent dedication and baptism?

Baptism is one of those subjects that has different traditions and interpretations of Scripture tied to it. Parent Dedication is a special time designated for parents to publicly commit to raise their child in God’s will and God’s Word. Baptism, on the other hand, is to be for those people who have already placed their faith in Jesus as the Son of God.

Our Parent Dedication is a time of celebrating together as a church body with parents in acknowledging your need for God to be active in your family’s life.

We believe that parents are the primary nurturer of their children's lives and are in the best position to help them know and love God; however, parents are not in this alone. We, as a church family, desire to come alongside parents and partner with them in this calling. Parent Dedication happens once a year on Next Gen Sunday during the main services. It is an opportunity for parents to publicly make a commitment before the Lord, their family, friends, and the congregation to disciple their child in a God-honoring home, and in turn, the congregation will take this opportunity to pray over these families.
