Family Dedication is open to parents who can truthfully say, “I will commit myself to raising this child to know the Lord Jesus Christ by loving, discipling, training, and setting a positive Christ-like example.” If parents are unmarried and living separately, only the primary custodial parent may participate. Parents who are unmarried and living together are asked to live separately or wait until they are married to dedicate their child. For further clarification, of this or any other guideline, please contact the campus contact listed in registration. Membership is not required, and a child who has been adopted can participate at any age.

There are multiple options at each campus. Preferred options for classes are made during the registration process. If you wish to change class times after registering, email the campus contact listed in registration.

In celebrating a new life, Family Dedication is available for any child birth through 24 months. Families who are new to the faith or who have a child who has been adopted can participate at any age.

For the stage portion of the ceremony, we ask that only the child being dedicated and their custodial parents participate. Other family members are encouraged to sit in the congregation and express their support by standing while your baby is dedicated.
