Child Dedication is a special moment where parents make a public commitment to raise their child in a Christ-centered home and lead them toward a personal relationship with Jesus.

No, dedication is not baptism and does not ensure salvation. Instead, it is a declaration of your desire to raise your child according to God’s Word.

• Modeling a growing relationship with Christ.
• Teaching biblical truth in the home.
• Praying consistently for your child.
• Being actively involved in the life of the church.

Our church family makes a commitment to come alongside you to encourage, support, and pray for you as you lead your child spiritually. We actively partner with you through prayer, encouragement, and discipleship opportunities with Compass Kids.

Child Dedication is typically offered during a weekend service. You will also attend a brief preparation class for parents before the actual dedication day.

We would be honored to celebrate this milestone with you! To register for the next dedication or to ask any questions, please contact Diane Losea.

Baptism is a public declaration of a personal decision to follow Jesus Christ. It is an outward expression of an inward transformation that has already taken place in your child’s heart.

Children aged 10 and older may be baptized when they:

• Have made a personal decision to follow Jesus.
• Understand what salvation means.
• Can explain, in their own words, why they want to be baptized.

Because baptism is a personal commitment, each child and at least one parent must meet with a ministry leader before the service. This ensures your child fully comprehends the meaning and significance of this important step.

• Listen to your child share their understanding of the Gospel.
• Ensure the decision to be baptized is personal and thoughtful.
• Answer any questions your family has about faith and salvation.
• Discuss how to partner together for your child’s ongoing spiritual growth.

We believe parents are the primary spiritual leaders in a child’s life. Baptism is just the beginning of a lifelong journey of discipleship, and we are honored to come alongside your family as you guide your child in a growing relationship with Christ.
