Child Dedication: A Faith-Filled Commitment for the Whole Family
As a parent, you’re the most powerful influence in your child’s life. But you were never meant to do it alone. That’s where your church family comes in.
Child dedication is a meaningful way to say, “We’re choosing to raise our child to know and follow Jesus—and we’re inviting our community to help us do it.” It’s not just a ceremony—it’s a sacred partnership. You’ll gain the support, encouragement, and spiritual influence of people who are committed to loving and leading your child well.
This isn’t about perfection—it’s about direction. When you dedicate your child, you’re making a decision to lead them in faith with intention. You’re committing to model what it looks like to love God with all your heart, soul, and strength—just like Deuteronomy 6:4–7 encourages us to do.
“Impress [these commandments] on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up.” — Deuteronomy 6:7 NIV
Raising kids to follow Jesus isn’t a one-time task—it’s a lifestyle. It’s in the small conversations, the everyday examples, and the consistent love that points them to something greater.
