Baby Dedication

Baby Dedication Service

A Baby Dedication service is an opportunity for parents to publicly declare their intent to raise their child in a way that honors God and also give the child the opportunity to eventually have a personal relationship with Jesus. In many ways a "Baby dedication" service is truly a "parent dedication" service, as parents publicly declare to raise their child in the faith until the child is old enough to make his own personal confession of Christ. It's also a time for family, friends, and the church body here at Crossroads to say we will partner with you, as best we can, to see that this takes place. 


Life Verse and Photo
You will need to choose a life verse for your child. A life verse is a verse from the Bible that you have chosen for your child that he/she can call his/her own for a lifetime. Also, please submit a photo of your child via the file upload in the registration. 

What to Expect

Our Baby Dedications are always held during our Celebration service. During this time, we will have baptisms, new member recognition, and child dedications. It's exactly how it sounds - a celebration! 


During the Baby dedication, you and your spouse will be asked to come forward in front of the congregation where the Pastor will give a brief introduction to the importance of baby dedications. He will also share with the congregation the life verse the family has picked for their child. After this, he will say a few things that he will ask the parents to repeat after him which have to do with the parents dedicating their child to God. After this, he  will ask the congregation to stand and join him in prayer for the family. 


A few things to note: 

- Please feel free to bring family to this event. 

- Your child will receive gifts

- Should you have questions, don't hesitate to ask.
