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.

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.

Baby Dedication is a ceremony intended for members* at Church In The Son. It 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.

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

After completing Roots, all parents must attend a Parent Orientation Class in order to register and confirm your desired date. Classes are offered on a regular basis. Contact the Early Childhood Director at pre-k@churchintheson.com for more information on the next Parent Orientation Class. You will receive a registration link from the Early Childhood Director after attending the Parent Orientation.

What is baby dedication?

Baby Dedication is a ceremony where parents present their child to God and wholeheartedly agree to raise that child in a Godly environment. It is a time where you and your child receive a blessing from the Pastor as you take on this significant task. It 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. Baby dedication is NOT infant baptism and is not an 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.
