CHILD DEDICATION/CHRISTENING

Children are a heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is His reward. (Psalms 127:3)

Many churches dedicate infants and babies because of tradition rather than theology. We want our families to have a Christian vision for their children. We want them to see parenting as a divine responsibility. We believe every child is a gift from God.

Parental Affirmations to God

  • Do you today recognize this child as the gift of God and give heartfelt thanks for God’s blessing?
  • Do you now dedicate your child to the Lord who gave them to you all, surrendering all worldly claims upon their lives in the hope that they will belong wholly to God?
  • Do you pledge as parents that, with God’s fatherly help, you will bring up your child in the discipline and instruction of the Lord, making every reasonable effort, with patience and love, to build the Word of God, the character of Christ and the joy of the Lord into their lives?
  • Do you promise to provide, through God’s blessing, for the physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual needs of your children, looking to your own heavenly Father for the wisdom, love, and strength to serve them and not use them?
  • Do you promise, God, helping you, to make it your regular prayer that, by God’s grace, your children will come to trust in Jesus Christ alone for the forgiveness of their sins and for the fulfillment of all His promises to them, even eternal life; and in this faith follow Jesus as Lord and obey his teachings?
