Child dedication is a statement and a commitment made by the parents. A commitment to raise their child in a way that will instill godly principals and character in the child’s life. Parents that choose to have their child dedicated are saying "God we want to be the best parents we can be." "God we want You to make us and mold us into the parents our child needs us to be." Their commitment is to not only bring honor to Christ in the way that they live but that they will demonstrate what it means to live daily for Christ.
To the Church, the parents are saying, "we are going to do our best but we desire your help." "Please model for our child what it means to people of integrity, grace and mercy. Please volunteer to help in Children’s ministry, so that our child is equipped to become an adult that loves and serves God." As a church it's important we tell the parents with our actions that we will support them as they raise their child.
Child dedication is a special moment where the church and parents stand together, unity in their desire to bring up the child to love Jesus. Silver Creek cares about all individuals at every stage of life. At the same time we see the huge importance to begin training and teaching kids at a young age, how much Jesus loves them and desires to have a relationship with them.
Thanks for partnering with Silver Creek to help this happen for children.
