Parent-Child Dedication

Some churches practice a “baptism of confirmation” for children. This custom began about three-hundred years after the Bible was completed. This is when the parent pledges their commitment to raise their child according to Christian values and beliefs.Our Parent-Child Dedications offer parents and the church the opportunity to pledge a commitment to your child.

While a very meaningful event, this is not Christian baptism. When your child is old enough to make an outward demonstration of their inward commitment to Christ, they will have the opportunity to request to be baptized.

Why Not Baptism?

The New Testament shows no examples of baptism when the candidate did not request it. All instances of baptism followed an individual’s decision to trust Christ alone for his or her salvation. At Team Church, we wait until a child is old enough to believe and understand the true meaning of baptism. Once a child has made the decision to trust Christ, we will gladly baptize them.

When are Dedications?

Our Parent-Child Dedication Services are held at the beginning of our OneNite Worship Services, once or twice per year. OneNite is a night of worship, communion, baptism, and parent-child dedications.
