Parenting is a wild ride—full of love, chaos, and way more Google searches than you ever imagined. No one hands you a manual, and honestly, no hack or trend can do what a strong foundation of faith does for your child.

You are the biggest spiritual influence in your child's life—more than any program, any curriculum, any Sunday gathering. We know that. Child Dedication isn't us doing something to your child—it's us partnering with you, cheering you on, and promising to walk alongside your family as you raise your child in the way God has called you to.

As part of this journey, you'll attend a short class—a meaningful conversation with some practical tools to help you clarify your hopes and goals for your family. Then we'll celebrate together during our Celebration Sunday.
This is the start of something beautiful, and we would be honored to be part of it with you.

Child Dedication is a 2-part event:

1. Class ~ In-Person on September 27th from 9:15AM - 10:15AM or Zoom on October 1st from 6:30 PM - 7:30 PM 

2. Celebration ~ October 4th, during our main Sunday gatherings at 9:00 AM or 10:40 AM
