"Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, children a reward from Him." Psalm 127:3
The Parent/Child Dedication ceremony at DBC is a commitment ceremony for parents. It is recognition of your solemn responsibility to raise your child in a Christian home and a church where he or she may come to know Jesus Christ as his or her personal Savior. This ceremony is not infant baptism. We do not offer baptism prior to a person’s choosing to believe in Christ.
What Baby Dedication is NOT
- Baptism
- A guarantee that your children will never have problems
What Baby Dedication IS
-
A chance for parents to publicly commit to raise their child in a way that honors God
-
An opportunity to seek support from DBC as a whole, to raise their children in the faith community
Parent/Child Dedication Seminar
Prior to participating in a Parent/Child Dedication Sunday, there is a Seminar class during the 9:45 am hour. All parents must attend. There are several aspects that are valuable as you seek to dedicate your child:
- You find out the details of what goes on that actual dedication day.
- You will formulate your one-sentence blessing that will be read on your child's dedication day.
Upcoming Seminar Dates 2009 (Seminar meets in the Small Dining Room, upper level of G Building)
