Congratulations! A new baby in your family is such an exciting time!

We are so happy that we can share in this joy of your life. God has given parents the most influence in the lives of their children and we hope that you will continue to look to Grace Chapel for love and support for your new baby and your new family.

What does this step mean?

Dedicating your baby is a way to make a promise to God to do everything within your power to raise your child in a Godly and prayerful way as he or she grows and moves toward making a personal decision to follow God. Some of these responsibilities include teaching and training your child in God's word, demonstrating an example of Godliness, and praying for your child.

Dedication

Our infant service is a blessing with the focus being on dedication to God.

For infants, we perform dedications since they are too young to know and confess verbally that Jesus is their personal savior. We understand that many people may have been raised in a tradition where infants were required to be baptized. However, this is not a requirement of Scripture. At Grace, we explain this to everyone and follow the dedication process Jesus goes through in Luke 2. Baptism is not salvation. ​It is then your commitment to God to raise your child in a way they will know Jesus the best they can.
