PARENT CHILD DEDICATIONS
PARENT CHILD DEDICATIONS

At First Church, Parent-Child Dedication is a meaningful opportunity for families to commit to raising their child in a Christ-centered home. It is a time for parents to publicly declare their intention to lead their child spiritually, teaching them about Jesus and guiding them in faith. This dedication is not baptism or salvation but rather a commitment by parents to raise their child according to God’s Word, with the support of the church family.

Child Dedication Dates

  • Stevensville Campus – May 4
  • St. Joseph Campus – May 11
