Baby Dedication

To bring your child before the Lord in the presence of the congregation as a means of dedicating them has been practiced by the church for many years.

While this is not a command or an ordinance of the church, it is certainly seen in scripture.

We see a woman named Hannah who, the Bible says, “the Lord closed her womb”, and yet she prayed.

And this was a special case no doubt, yet we also see in scripture that it was customary for parents to present their children before the Lord and offer sacrifices.

This was done in even Christ’s life...

So we see that there was obligation out of law observance, yet it has become the tradition in some circles to bring children before the Lord in a public manner and pray asking God to save them while stating our intentions as parents to do our best to raise them to know the Gospel of Jesu Christ.

we do this publicly because we as a congregation of members to the Local church also would affirm that we will help these parents to raise their children to know the Lord.

Parents here are a couple verses that we hope will encourage you as you love your child and do your best to serve them by teaching them scripture and praying for them daily.
