Need to Know

​​What you can expect at the celebration

We will reserve two tables (each table seats 8 people) for your family and close friends. We ask that the only other young children attending are the siblings of the new baby. This will ensure that you can focus on this special event with no distractions. You will have an opportunity to share what you've decided from your homework assignment in Step 1. We will lead you in a prayer of dedication. There will be time to eat cake and take pictures with your family. The event will last about an hour.

​

Requirements

• The Baby Dedication Celebration is much more than an event.  You must complete Step 1 and Step 2 before your Baby Dedication Celebration registration is confirmed.

• There is no time limit to completing Step 2.

• We recommend that your child be age 3 years or under, but this is not a requirement.

• Space is limited and each event usually fills up quickly. The event is offered two times per year. It is very likely that the next available opening could be six months from the time that you sign up.

Not Infant Baptism

This event is not infant baptism. We believe that when people are old enough to understand what it means to put their faith and trust in Jesus Christ as their personal Savior, they should have the opportunity to make that choice for themselves. A preschooler is not able to understand sin, forgiveness, the sacrifice our Savior made for us, and what it means to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. This event is about your commitment as a parent to lead your child into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ, so that when he gets older, you are able to guide him and to help him understand what that means.
