Parent/Child Dedication

Parent/Child Dedication

At First Baptist Tillmans Corner we feel that our children are special gifts from God. He has placed them in our care for a brief time. In His Word He has given us instruction for godly parenting:

Affirming your personal faith in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior. - John 3:16
Renewing your commitment to each other as husband and wife. - Ephesians 5:22-33
Praying daily for God’s direction in your lives and the life of your child. - 1 Thessalonians 5:17
Faithfully bringing your children to celebrate the Lord in worship on Sundays as a family. - Hebrews 10:25
Teaching your child by word and example the truths of God’s Word in your home. - Deuteronomy 6:6-7
Seeking to lead your child to a personal faith in Jesus as soon as he or she is ready. - Mark 10:13-16
Loving your child with much affection and careful discipline. - Ephesians 6:4

Parent & child dedication is a public declaration by parents that their child is a gift from God who ultimately belongs to the Lord and is one of life's greatest stewardship responsibilities. The dedication is a time of public prayer by the entire church family for God's blessing upon your little one's life and for their upbringing.
