The Psalms say, "Children are a blessing of the Lord." Here at Encounter we echo that sentiment and we look for opportunities to acknowledge the gift that children truly are.
In the Bible we see that Jesus’ parents dedicated Him to the Lord soon after he was born (Luke 2:22–40). We believe a Child Dedication ceremony is special moment between parents and God on the behalf of their child. It's an opportunity for the parents to commit to raise their child in the faith until the child is old enough to make his or her own personal confession of Christ.
With a heart to follow this Biblical model, at Encounter we provide annual opportunities for Child Dedication. If you’re interested in participating with your child in our next service, simply fill out the information below, and we will get back with you to you with all the details you'll need to know.
