Hello, everyone. Thank you so much for being here.   

First of all, we are honored to host you and your family at this event. But we want you to know—it’s so much more than just an event. Our child dedication celebrations are meant to serve as a way for you as parents to begin thinking about what your child needs most—and we believe that is love. Yes, your love, but more importantly, the love of their heavenly Father.   

Our hope is that through child dedication, you will establish a commitment to raising your child to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. And not only that, but we want to partner with you in this endeavor.  

Because of that, we ask that you watch two short videos before attending the event. In those videos, you will be given an assignment to complete before your child dedication. And listen—we know you’re busy—so we wouldn’t ask you to do these things if we didn’t think they were very, very important.  Click on links below.

 

FAQ

Before the celebration...

What do I need to do between now and the day of the celebration?
You will need to watch two short videos in preparation for the event. These videos contain homework challenges to be shared on celebration day. The videos are available on this webpage.

What do I need to bring with me?
Besides your friends, family, and child (don't forget them at home!), please bring a printed copy of the "homework"?the letter to your child. If you don't mind sharing its contents with your guests, we suggest bringing a copy for everyone.

During the celebration...

What time should we arrive?
Doors open half an hour prior to the celebration start time.

What should we wear?
Whatever you and your little one will feel most comfortable in! Some people dress casually in jeans, while others wear more formal attire.

Is this an infant baptism?
No. We believe that a child must be old enough to understand what it means to put their faith in Jesus Christ before they can be baptized. This event is an opportunity for you as parents to publicly declare that you want to raise your child to develop their own relationship with Jesus Christ.

I can barely get my child to sit still long enough to get them dressed. How will they survive the entire celebration day event?
Your child will make noise during the celebration day event. But that's okay, because so will everyone else's!
