Child Dedication at BCS

A little life.
A lasting promise.

Celebrate God's gift of your child and make a joyful commitment to raise them in faith, surrounded by the love and prayers of the church.

Psalm 127:3

Children are a heritage
from the Lord.

Presented to God.
Surrounded by love.

Child Dedication is a meaningful moment for parents to thank God for their child and publicly commit to nurturing a Christ-centred home.

It is also a promise from the church family: to encourage parents, pray for the child, and help create a community where faith can take root and grow. Dedication is not water baptism or a guarantee of future faith; it is a hopeful beginning shaped by grace, example, and prayer.

“As for me and my household,
we will serve the Lord.”

Joshua 24:15
