Sunday, October 25th, during our 11:30 am time, we will be having Child Dedications.

At our Child Dedication service, parents commit to raise their child to know Jesus Christ for the glory of God and pledge to raise their children in a Christian home and church where he or she can come to know, love, and serve Jesus. A child is a God-given trust (Psalm 127:3).

Child dedication is not the same as infant baptism. We believe that baptism is a public statement of faith that can be made only by someone who has personally believed in Christ. Infants cannot make a personal decision to believe in Jesus.

You will not have to recite a pledge during the ceremony. You should, however, read and decide whether you are able to commit to this pledge:

“Declaring Christ as Savior and Lord and believing in my heart that God raised Him from the dead, I acknowledge that my children are gifts from God, that I am a caretaker by His grace and, therefore, accept the responsibility for raising my family to know and follow Jesus. As a Christian parent:

• I will demonstrate for my child Christian integrity in my personal life.
• I will teach my child the meaning of fidelity in my marriage.
• I will show my child the meaning of fellowship and servanthood through my church.
• I will model my faith in my life, in prayer, and the application of the Bible’s truth as I teach my child to follow Jesus as Lord.

You can email dedicate@baf5points.com to let us know or sign up at our children’s registration desk on Sunday.
