What is Family and Child Dedication?
Our biblical example of Family and Child Dedication is found in Luke 2:22-32, when Mary and Joseph brought Jesus to the temple to be dedicated to God. Each child is a gift from God. As you dedicate them, you are “giving your children back to the Lord” and entrusting them to His care. Family and Child Dedication is a time for Christ following parents to make a commitment to God, their family, and the rest of the local congregation that they will raise their children in a way that honors God.
This year, we’re doing Family and Child Dedication differently than ever before! Instead of holding it during a regular Sunday morning service, we’re moving it to Saturday so we can create more intentional time for families and parents. During this special gathering, you’ll hear from your Next Gen leaders on your campus as well as your Campus Pastor. Our hope is to make this a more meaningful and engaging experience for you and your family. We’re excited about this change and look forward to partnering with parents as we celebrate and dedicate your child together.
