The Mission Church provides parents with the opportunity to dedicate their children to the Lord. We believe it is the parent's charge to train their children to love the Lord, and through pubically dedicating their children, parents are making a covenant before the Lord and their church family.
At what age are babies dedicated?
Typically, babies are under the age of 4. We have found that often times older children are aware and somewhat uncomfortable being the “oldest” and included with the “babies”, but there is no hard-and-fast rule.
Will I need to say anything?
Yes, parents will need to respond in the affirmative when a question is posed.
Is there a dress code for baby dedication?
Come any way you feel comfortable. Some people dress up for the occasion, and some are more casual. God looks at our hearts, not our attire.
Is baby dedication a family event?
This is a great time to celebrate your commitment to Christ withfamily and friends. Many parents invite family members to join them at the service and to celebrate afterwards.
Am I required to be a member of the mission church?
No, you do not have to be a formal member of the church; however, we do ask that those wishing to participate be adherents (attend and participate regularly).
How do I sign up?
Complete the online questionnaire (hard copy by request) and return to the church office at least 1 week prior to the service date (receipt will be acknowledged by the office).
Arrive at least 20 minutes prior to the start of the dedication service (typically 11 am).
