“Behold, children are a gift of the Lord.." Psalm 127:3

It's exciting whenever a new child enters a family. There is no greater moment than when parents sense that children are a gift from God. In these joyful moments, our Baby Dedication Ministry has the privilege of sharing with the parents how they can express their full appreciation to God through baby dedication.

Dedicating a child acknowledges God's sovereignty not only over the child, but also the mother and father. Parents present their child before God and His people asking for grace and wisdom in carrying out their responsibilities. Parents also come praying, that their child might one day receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior for the forgiveness of sin.

Before the actual dedication can be performed, it is crucial that we counsel our partners about the meaning of dedication.
