Parent/Child Dedication
Dedication is a time of celebration when parents can declare before family and friends their commitment to raise their child to be a follower of Christ. As parents, we have the opportunity to join our children on their physical and spiritual journeys through life. The Parent/Child Dedication classes will help you start well by giving you tools to use during parenting. They will also provide you with an environment where you can ask questions and get practical answers from other parents and group leaders. These classes lead up to a time of commitment at our Parent/Child Dedication ceremony. The ceremony is an important reminder to our family and friends to pray and provide support for each dedicating family.
