Parent & Child Dedication

Dedication

What is Parent & Child Dedication?

A service representing commitment between families and the church to raise Christ–centered, others–oriented children.

Each year, Parent and Child Dedication offers families an opportunity to join with Fellowship Church to leverage the best of our combined resources and energy to build strong families and raise Godly children. It is this focus that leads us to Parent and Child Dedication, rather than just baby dedication.

This memorable service offers you an opportunity as a parent to commit with other parents to raising Christ-centered, others-oriented children. It also gives you the opportunity to have a pastor pray for God’s blessings on your child and your family.

Dedication is a celebration that recognizes your child is a gift from God and makes public the church’s commitment to your family and your family’s commitment to the church. It is not a ceremony that brings salvation to your child or a substitute for believers baptism.
