BABY DEDICATION

For more information on Baby Dedication and how to register to participate in a dedication, please click the link below. This is the first step in registering your child to be dedicated.

REQUEST MORE INFORMATION

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.

The requirements to dedicate your child are:

The child is under the age of 6
You are a Christian parent
You have attended a Cathedral of Faith weekend service
Your child has attended a COF Kidz nursery or Sunday school class
Parents must 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 digital download of your child's dedication, 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 dedication spots are limited). The $30 covers the first child; each additional sibling is $10 there after.

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 second service. Families need to register online for a dedication class and date in order to participate.

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.

A Church that Serves … Just Because

Cathedral of Faith is where the love is lived out. A place where you can find that no-strings-attached service the Bible talks about. Love without any gimmicks. It’s real.

Cathedral of Faith serves the city of Milpitas in a variety of ways. Cathedral of Faith has also adopted the Selwyn Park area as a part of the city of Milpitas’ Adopt-A-Neighborhood program.

The following is a list of ways to get involved in blessing this neighborhood:

Quarterly clean-up days
National Night Out Block Party
Other ministry opportunities

MILPITAS MINISTRIES

CITY

Milpitas is nicknamed the “crossroads of the Silicon Valley” because it is a busy, exciting, crossroads (680/237/880) community. There are more than 70,000 residents but during the day it’s population doubles as people come to work and shop in Milpitas.

MISSION

Our mission is to show God's love by serving the city of Milpitas, worshipping together, and making disciples.

Life Groups

Life groups are about sharing life together and helping each other grow in their faith. In a life group you can take a break from the busy demands of everyday life and invest in what is really important: your relationship with God and the people around you. They can be in a bible study format or a journaling group. How to Journal

PARENT RESOURCES

I think all of us would like our kids to love Jesus, be happy, be good people, and follow their dreams. That’s entirely a possible outcome. But when we don’t long for our kids first and foremost to know and love Jesus by prioritizing the nature of our parenting then our kid’s spiritual development simply will not be what it could have been. What a huge loss that would be!

Let Matthew 16:26, be a reminder that absolutely nothing matters more than helping our kids know and love Jesus. Because when they have Jesus, they have everything.

SPIRITUAL GROWTH

Helping Your Child Grow Spiritually
- Parents have a divine call to raise their children up to know God. The world recognizes parents' responsibility for the upbringing of their children in many areas including their material and emotional needs. Within churches it is widely acknowledged that parents are also called to meet their children's spiritual needs. According to a survey by Fuller Theological Seminary, around 90% of Christian parents believe that they have the primary responsibility to help their children grow spiritually. However, the same survey discovered that only 10% of the parents do anything more than taking their children to the church. Our children need more than that.

Lead by Example
- Paul writes in 1 Corinthians 11:1, "Imitate me, just as I also imitate Christ." So, the first step in the discipleship of our children is to ensure that we are as close to the Lord and as full of Christian character as we can be. We need to work on our character flaws, grow in love and knowledge of God. As we grow, our children will too.

Read the Bible and Pray with Your Children
- As parents, we should seek to pray and read the Bible with our young children every day. If our children experience meeting with God with us, and watch us seeking God on our own, then they will learn to do the same as they grow.

Pray for Your Children
- God has given us our children to shape in prayer. As our children grow and develop there will be times when they need our prayers to bring them through difficult times, to shape their character, or simply to fan into flame their love of God. Wise parents spend time on their knees for their children.

Family Time
- Many families choose to have a time each week, or even each day, when they worship God together and share a word. This can be a great forum to bring God central in the home and also give opportunity for your children to exercise their gifts of intercession, prophecy and teaching.

The Role of the Church
- Beyond the parents, and those called specifically to children's ministry, the whole church has a responsibility to see its children grow in the way of the Lord (much as the whole church is called to reach out to the lost and minister to the poor). Allow your children to be a part of church life and they will grow in God as they mix with other believers. Proverbs 22:6 instructs us to "Train up a child in the way they should go and when they are old they will not depart from it." This is our mandate from God, let's raise up a generation that will make a difference in God's kingdom.

BAPTISM

Baptism Dates:

Check out the events section for details on upcoming baptism dates.

Requirements:

Child must be in Kinder through 5^th grade and attend the COF Kids Sunday Morning and/or Wednesday Night Classes.
Child must have made a personal decision to follow Jesus Christ and understand what it means to be baptized.
Child must attend one of the Baptism Classes held on Sunday or Wednesday during the previous weeks prior to their baptism.

Is your child ready to be Baptized?
Here are Questions to Ask Your Child:

What is water baptism? Read Romans 6:4.
- Baptism is a sign or symbol to show others that you are a follower of Jesus. It shows that your old life of sin has died and is buried with Jesus as you go under the water, and that you have been risen to a new life in Jesus as you come up out of the water.

Who should be baptized? Read Acts 2:38.
- Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Son of God, and has become a follower of Jesus Christ.

Is there anything special about the water? Does it make us saved? Read 1 John 1:9.
- No. If we ask Jesus to be our Savior and believe He is the Lord of our life, then we are saved. Water baptism is an outward symbol of our decision.

What does it personally mean to you to be baptized?

How do I sign up?

Information on Mega Baptism will be in the church bulletin.
To sign up for Children’s Baptism, please call Pastor Jesalyn at (408)979-3023 or sign up during one of the Baptism Classes.

What does my child need to wear/bring?

Please bring your child ready, wearing a dark shirt and shorts. And remember to bring a towel and a dry change of clothes as well.

UPWARD BASKETBALL AND CHEER

Upward Basketball is a God-designed, kid-centered basketball league for boys and girls, grades 1 - 6. It emphasizes becoming Christ-like, learning good sportsmanship and respect for authority, not championship and trophies. Every child is a winner, regardless of what takes place on the court! Our league seeks to develop character in every player by providing an equal opportunity for improvement, while stressing sportsmanship in every situation.

As an Upward Basketball player you will enjoy:

Reversible mesh Jersey & shorts
Equal playing time
Upward basketball T-Shirt
Individual awards at each game & practice
Free End-Of-The-Year Gift for every player
Separate leagues for boys & girls
Each player signs up as an individual, not as a group or team
One hour practice and game each week starting in January

Practices

Practices are one day a week on either Tuesday or Wednesday. Grades 1 & 2 could be at 5:00pm or 6:00pm. Grades 3 & 4 are at 7:00pm and 5 & 6 grades are at 8:00pm. Specific practice days for each team to be determined.

WEDDINGS

We are so excited for those pursuing marriage and a lifelong covenant between each other and God. We offer wedding services in our chapel throughout the week as available. Due to the high usage of our campus, we are not able to perform weddings in other venues around our campus. We have two basic requirements for those who want to get married at Cathedral of Faith:

You need to be a member of Cathedral of Faith
You need to attend our Pre-Marital Class.

The pre-marital class is offered quarterly, so for information about our next class, cost, and the wedding application email Stephanie at svillegas@cathedraloffaith.org
