What is Child Dedication?

Child Dedication is an opportunity to publicly express your commitment to raising your child(ren) with God’s guidance and submitting yourselves to His will.  It’s a time to invite family and friends to support you as you dedicate your child(ren) to the Lord.  Child Dedications are held during services in the fall and spring.

Before dedicating your child, we ask parents to attend a Child Dedication Class.  During the class, we walk through what Child Dedication means, why parents make this commitment, and how COMMUNITY is here to partner with you.

Fall Child Dedications will be held on Sunday, Nov 3rd.  Classes offered by location.
