Child Dedication

The precedent for parents' "dedicating a child" to the Lord is found in both the Old Testament and the New Testament (1 Samuel 1:28 & 2 Timothy 3:15). We applaud the desire of families to dedicate their child(ren) to the Lord on a designated occasion. When properly understood, the ceremony is actually one of parental dedication. This dedication in no way guarantees the salvation of a child, but instead, represents the following:

1. A recognition of God as the giver of life, and applause for His marvelous handiwork in designing a "masterpiece."
2. A demonstration of godly parental love that will be shown in the home on a regular basis.
3. A commitment to make biblical values the ultimate parental guideline for child-rearing.
4. A prayerful concern that the child will enter a relationship with Christ by faith when he/she is mature enough to understand.
5. A way for the congregation to express our support in assisting with these ambitions.
