What is Parent-Child Dedication?
Our model is based in Luke 2:21-40 when Joseph and Mary brought Jesus as an infant to the temple to present Him to God.
It is a time for Christian parents to present themselves and their child to God in the presence of their church family as a public declaration of their intention to rely on God to empower them to raise their child to love Jesus, His Word, and His people.
Parent-Child Dedication is not...
An infant baptism - as scripture is clear that baptism is for those who have repented of their sins, which an infant is incapable of. Also, it does not ensure your child’s salvation.
Who Can Participate?
Our Parent-Child dedication is open to all parents who have:
• Professed Jesus Christ as their savior
• Regularly attended GFC in person for 3 months or longer
• Attended our Parenting Class prior to dedication Sunday
• Have a child 5 or younger
When is the next Parent-Child Dedication?
Please listen for the next Parent-Child Dedication opportunity, which will be announced in our Sunday service starting one month prior to the event. At that time, you can return to this page to register. We look forward to celebrating this special moment with your family!
