Baptism: Baptism is an opportunity for you to make your faith
in Jesus public. It’s simply an outward display of an
inward decision you’ve made to follow Jesus with your life,
giving it over to Him. Baptism is a symbol of how Jesus
washes us clean & we receive new life through Him
(Romans 6:4, 2 Corinthians 5:17). Jesus took on the
penalty of our sin by dying on the cross, so now
through a relationship with Him, we are made right
with God. Instead of our sins, when God sees us,
He sees His son who died for our sins! When we are
submerged in the water, that’s like a representation
of our old life before Christ. When we come out of
the water, that’s a representation of a new life
with Jesus; we are washed clean and made new!
Child Dedication: God has given parents the most influence in their children's lives, and dedicating your child is a way to commit to modeling what it means to follow Jesus. This doesn’t mean that you’re going to be perfect— no one is—but it does mean that you’re going to give them opportunities to explore who Jesus is. So it’s really more about your role as parents than it is your children. Dedicating your child is a way to commit to teaching your kids what it means to follow Jesus in front of God and your faith community. It is our prayer that these children will one day grow up to accept and know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.
