Child dedication is a public commitment you make before God, your church, and your family. The dedication service provides you, the parent(s), an opportunity to express publicly your desire to lead and spiritually nurture your child in cooperation with the Holy Spirit, so your child will develop a desire to love God and love others.
The church congregation is also invited not only to witness the parents’ commitment, but, they too, are asked to partner with the parents as a church family.
