The purpose of Family Dedication is for parents to present their child(ren) before God and his people asking for grace and wisdom in carrying out their responsibilities. Parents also come praying that their child will one day accept Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Family Dedication is a milestone in establishing your home as the primary place where faith is lived out and nurtured. Family Dedication Sunday is a time for parents, family, and friends to come together and celebrate the little ones God has entrusted to our care. It also represents a commitment by both the parents and the church to lead these children toward Christ. This public expression is so vital because it provides each family with a deeper connection to our church family—a system of support and accountability to help us through the challenges of life. (Because let’s face it—parenting is hard!)
