GENERAL INFORMATION

The purpose of dedication is to allow Christian parents to make a formal commitment before family, congregation, and God that they choose to raise their children in a Christian home. We dedicate children 1 Sunday (usually the 3^rd Sunday) several times a year.

The requirements to dedicate your child are: 

1. The child is under the age of 6 
2. You are a Christian parent
3. You have attended a Cathedral of Faith weekend service
4. Your child has attended a COF Kidz nursery or Sunday school class
5. Parents have attended a Baby Dedication Class

How do I make arrangements to dedicate my child?

Submit your name and email address towards the top of the page in order to receive more information on baby dedication and how to register for a class.  This is the first step in our registration process.

Who do we dedicate?

Children-Birth through 5 years old 

How much does it cost to dedicate a child?

$30.  This includes: a dedication DVD, a children’s Bible, a special photo of your child taken during his/her dedication, and a parenting message from Pastor Ken.  (This is also what holds your child's spot as we can only dedicate up to 12 children per dedication).  The $30 covers the first child; each additional sibling is $10 there after.  If you decide to change your dedication date less than 6 weeks before the dedication, you will have to re-sign up, which would require a new contribution.

Why don’t we baptize?

We believe baptism is a choice to follow Jesus and must be made by the person being baptized. Very young children do not yet make life choices. 

Why dedicate a child?

It is an opportunity for Christian parents to bring their young children before God and commit themselves to providing a Christian home and training for these children so that when they are mature enough to make decisions they will choose God and salvation through Jesus. It is actually a parents’ commitment to God, understanding their responsibility to their children before God.

When do we dedicate children?

We dedicate children several times a year after the 11:45 a.m. service in the Chapel. Once you attend a class, you will be given dates of upcoming dedications and the opportunity to register for those times.

Can we have others accompany us on stage?

We allow up to a max of 4 additional adults to accompany you on stage during your child's dedication. These 4 people are not required but may be Grandparents, Godparents, and/or other family or close friends.  Please note, children under the age of 12 cannot be one of the additional 4 people on stage.
