We believe God is a God of purpose. The family was the first institution created by God between a man and a woman. Family/Baby Dedication is to give back to God what belongs to The Lord (I Samuel 1:27 - 28). We believe God has a plan. We believe, according to God’s Word, that God’s plan for marriage is a man and woman to leave and cleave and become one flesh in a covenant relationship established by marriage. (Genesis 2:18, 21-24).
The Dedication Service is a decision made by the parents or parent of the child and not by the child itself. Therefore, Dedication is a commitment by the parents or parent to train and teach their child Biblical principles, to trust in God, and to be thankful for this blessing. Therefore, we only dedicate the child/children of married couples (a man and a woman) and the child/children of a single parent who is committed to God in the development of the child and will be obedient to God’s word. We will conduct family and child(ren) dedication on Sunday, November 27 at both our 9am and 11am services. If you would like to dedicate your family and child(ren) please contact the church office at (225)644-3111.
