Child Dedication

At Christ Center, we believe kids are a precious gift from God! Child dedication is a joyful moment where parents commit to raising their child in God’s love and guiding them toward a life of faith in Jesus.

During this service, parents promise—with God’s help—to model Christ at home, pray for their child, and lead them to know Jesus. Our church family also commits to surrounding them with encouragement, support, and love as we walk this journey together.

Child dedication isn’t about having it all figured out—it’s about trusting God, stepping into the calling He has given parents, and celebrating the gift of life He has entrusted to us. Together, we celebrate this new chapter and the hope God has for each child.

Our next Child Dedication is
Sunday, Oct. 12th

What is child dedication?

A child dedication is a short ceremony in which believing parents make a commitment before the Lord and the congregation to submit their child to God's will and to raise that child according to God's Word.

Why dedicate?

Spiritual 
Commitment

Child dedication is a joyful, public moment where parents commit to raising their child in a Christ-centered home. It’s a pledge to teach God’s Word, model Jesus’ love, and nurture faith from the very beginning.

Community 
Support

Dedication invites the church family to come alongside parents, offering encouragement, guidance, and love. Together, we create a strong foundation that supports both the child and the family on their faith journey.

Blessings
& Prayers

During the dedication, the church surrounds the child with prayers and blessings, celebrating the gift of life and asking God to guide, protect, and grow their faith. This collective support reminds the child and family that they are never alone in God’s plan.

FAQs

Is Child Dedication the equivalent of Infant/child baptism?
No. While we find the example of baby Jesus being dedicated by His parents in Luke 2:22-46, we do not believe there is any scriptural basis for infant baptism as a means of guaranteeing a child’s salvation; all Scripture indicates that is a conscious and deliberate decision made by each individual. Dedication is a ceremony publicly declaring the parents’ intent to live righteously and train the child in faith.
