Baby Dedication

Children are special and amazing gifts from God. We encourage parents to dedicate their children back to God and commit themselves to raising their children in His ways.

Child Dedication and Blessing is a special ceremony for *members of the Church In The Son Family.  You can request registration information by contacting our Early Childhood Director at pre-k@churchintheson.com
*Members are parents who regularly attend Church In The Son, have completed Roots I, and are actively involved in community, serving, giving, etc.

Please keep in mind, all parents must attend a Parent Orientation in order to receive the registration form link to confirm your desired date. These sessions are offered on a regular basis via Zoom. You will be notified of the upcoming dates as they are scheduled prior to your Dedication Ceremony date. Contact us at pre-k@churchintheson.com for questions.

As the dedication date approaches someone from our Early Childhood Department will call to confirm your time and date, and give further instruction for the ceremony procedure.

What is baby dedication?

Baby Dedication is a solemn charge to you, as parents, to raise your child in a Christian home, teaching, guiding, and modeling a Godly example for your child to follow. It is a ceremony where parents present their child to God and wholeheartedly agree to raise that child in a Godly environment. It is a ceremony where you and your child receive a blessing from the Pastor as you take on this significant task. Baby dedication is NOT infant baptism and is not assurance of salvation.

At what age should my child be presented?

Babies can be dedicated as early as the first scheduled service after they are born. Children may be participate at any age. It is never too late to have your child presented to the Lord in a dedication ceremony.

When is the next dedication & blessing ceremony?

Baby Dedication Ceremonies are scheduled quarterly. You will find the next scheduled date on the Church In The Son Events Page – Baby Dedication

Who may participate in the dedication & blessing ceremony?

The Dedication & Blessing Ceremony is intended for Church In The Son *members. Parents who want to present their child should follow the steps listed below.

The Child Dedication and Blessing ceremony is for the entire family. Due to limited space, we as that only parents and siblings of the child being dedicated come to the stage. However, we highly encourage grandparents, family members, and close friends to be invited to the ceremony. Special seating is available for all family and friends attending.

*Members are parents who regularly attend Church In The Son, have completed Roots, and are actively involved in community, serving, giving, etc.
