A Faith & Family Milestone: Parent/Child Dedications on May 12


It is a blessing to have growing families within our church! As our families grow in number, we are reminded of the importance of spiritual growth within a family as well. God entrusts parents with the responsibility to guide and teach their children in the faith. Here are three reasons that parent/child dedications are an important faith and family milestone:

  1. A child dedication is an acknowledgement of God’s sovereignty and blessings (Psalm 127:3-5). God created our children and loves them; our children ultimately belong to Him.

  2. A child dedication is a public declaration of a parents’ commitment to raise their child to know and follow Jesus. It is a first step in family discipleship for parents to intentionally live out their faith and teach their children how to do the same. (Ephesians 6:4).

  3. A child dedication is an affirmation of the church’s role to partner with families as they disciple their children all the way from birth through graduation and beyond! CCC desires to walk alongside parents wherever they are in their parenting journey with Biblical encouragement, support, and community (Hebrews 10:24-25).
