Adopt Mark Baby Dedication Certificate For Free

Is there an age limit? Baby dedication is geared to families with babies ages 0-36 months, as parents are growing their family and learning what it means to follow Jesus. If you're a family with older children, we can talk more about ways to support your family in your faith journey.

There are a lot of reasons to simply host a Baby Dedication at home. Many families may not be able to coordinate out-of-town guests with their church's scheduled Baby Dedication. Some families may prefer an in-home dedication for healthy reasons.

You can dedicate your child whether they're three days old or 13 years old. The age doesn't matter as much as the principle.

A Baby Dedication is a ceremony for babies younger than 2, in which a Christian father and mother make a commitment before the Lord to submit a child to God's will and to raise that child ing to God's Word and God's ways. A child blessing is for children older than 2.

Because of the example of Jesus being dedicated at eight days old (Luke -23) we encourage parents to dedicate infants as soon as possible. We offer dedication of infants twelve (12) months and younger. Older children can be privately blessed by a pastor or an elder.

Your baby dedication script should include the following elements no matter the length. Introduce the child to the congregation. ... Ask the parents to verbally commit to the responsibility of raising the child to know the Lord. Ask the congregation to verbally commit to support and help the family to do that.

Choose a dedication date soon after your child's birth (Although you can schedule your child's dedication anytime in the first year of life, we recommend age 3-7 months.).
