At Soul City, it’s our desire that parents would want to raise their children to know Jesus and we mark that significant moment through a Family Dedication experience that happens typically on a Saturday morning. While some churches practice infant baptism, Soul City’s practice is to wait until a child is of an age (usually around 12) to make a decision on their own that they want to follow Jesus and be baptized. As parents, we can help point our children to Jesus, but they are the ones to decide if they will commit their lives to Him (Romans 10:9). Any instance of baptism follows a person’s decision to trust Jesus for his or her salvation and commitment to follow Him (Acts 10:47-48). Once a child is old enough to understand and make this decision on their own, we celebrate and walk them through a process to prepare for baptism.If you are interested in family dedication, you can email us at kids@soulcitychurch.com
