Dedicating children to the Lord was a common practice of blessing among God’s people in both the Old and New Testament periods.

It was also a statement of recognition from the parents that their child really belonged to God. As Christians today, we dedicate children with this same purpose in mind.

Dedication is a public expression of faith and commitment on the part of parents, and blessing from God through his church. Therefore, we encourage parents who belong to RMCC to dedicate their children to the Lord.

A dedication celebration is more than a ritual. It’s a commitment by parents to honor the will and the Word of God. As part of this dedication, you are asked to:

• Publicly affirm your personal faith in Christ and renew your dedication to Him and His Word.

• Recognize that your child belongs to God and has been born to experience His love and to serve Him.

• Pray daily for God’s direction in your life and in the life of your child.

• Faithfully participate in Sunday school and worship with your child.

• Teach your child the truth of God’s Word in your home.

• Guide your child in making a formal commitment to Christ through baptism, being sensitive to God’s timing.
