While child dedication is not a Biblical command, we believe it helps encourage parents to:
Acknowledge their child as a gift from God. (Psalm 127:3-5)
Publicly declare their intention to raise their child in a home that will cultivate Christlikeness to give their child an opportunity to know God through a personal relationship with Christ. (Deut. 6:2, Eph. 6:4)
Affirm their total dependence upon the Lord. (John 15:5)
Ask family, friends, and their church community to prayerfully support and hold them accountable to these commitments. (Heb. 10:24-25)
