Dedication

Parent/Child Dedication is an event that symbolizes your pledge to raise your child in a Christian home and church where he or she can come to know, love, and obey Jesus. It also signifies a commitment by the people of Grace Fellowship to provide a loving, biblical community that supports and prays for your family. We welcome any parent that has accepted Christ as Savior and is striving to live according to biblical standards to participate in this very important ceremony.

Parent/Child Dedication is not the same as infant baptism. It is our belief that baptism is a public proclamation of one’s faith that can be made only by someone who personally believes in Jesus Christ.

Parent/Child Dedication is not just for infants. You can dedicate your child of any age to God at Grace Fellowship.

How to Have Your Child Dedicated

Families interested in participating are asked to attend a 60 minute orientation entitled, "Passing on a Legacy of Faith," which covers:

• the meaning of Parent/Child Dedication
• the reason we dedicate young children
• the responsibility of the parent after dedication
• the logistics of the service

The orientation class is offered at 11:00 a.m. Childcare is provided but must be requested when registering for the class. Dedications will be performed during the worship services.

Register for the class online.
