CHILD DEDICATION
As parents, you are the primary disciplers of your children. As your church family, we're here to walk alongside you as you raise your child in a gospel-centered environment.
CHILD DEDICATION AT THE BRIDGE
Child Dedication is when families publicly commit to raising their child(ren) in a gospel-centered environment. This is also the opportunity The Bridge Church takes to come alongside these families and commit to walking alongside them as they raise their children to know and follow Jesus.
If you'd like to sign up for our next Child Dedication, you can follow the link below to get registered.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
What Child Dedication is not...
This isn’t the day of salvation for your child. Salvation is the free gift of God, received when someone grasps his or her need for Jesus and makes the conscious decision to enter into a relationship with God.
What is The Bridge committing to?
As a church, we believe that this next generation isn’t the church of tomorrow, but the church of today. We are committed to praying for and partnering with our parents and families to raise their children to know, love, and follow Jesus!
Is Child Dedication like infant baptism?
Child dedication is also not baptism. Baptism is for believers—those who have already by faith trusted in Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of their sins—to publicly identify themselves with the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ through the symbolic act of being immersed in water. Once a child is old enough to make a decision to accept Christ as his or her personal Savior, then he or she can make a choice to be baptized.
Is there a specific service we need to attend?
No, child dedication is available at every service and campus, so register for the service that works best for your family!
What kind of commitment am I making?
As parents, you begin by publicly acknowledging your personal relationship with Jesus Christ. As you present your child to God, you are recognizing that he or she belongs to God and has been born to experience His love and to serve Him. You are committing, as Christian parents, to teach the truths of God's Word in your home and participate in regular worship and discipleship with your children. You are also committing to be a Christ-like example and seek to lead your children to a personal faith in Christ as soon as they are ready.
What should we wear?
