Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it. Proverbs 22:6

About Dedications:
A Baby Dedication is a ceremony (anointing with oil) in which believing parents,
and sometimes entire families, make a commitment before the Lord to submit a
child to God's will and to raise that child according to God's Word and God's
ways.
Parents may, and are encouraged to dedicate their children to God. Please make
your request to the Pastor.
Responsibilities Involved in Dedicating babies/children:
Born-Again Christian parents who dedicate a child are making a promise to the
Lord to do everything within their power to raise the child in a godly way,
prayerfully until he or she can make a decision on his or her own to follow God.
Parents who make this vow of commitment are instructed to raise the child in the
ways of God, and not according to their own ways. Some of the responsibilities
include teaching and training the child in God's Word, demonstrating an example
of godliness, disciplining according to God's ways, and praying earnestly for the
child.
Ephesians 6:4b bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord.

Dedications are performed on an as requested basis.
