Frequently Asked Questions

What is Baby/Child Dedication?

Children are a gift from God. They come from God and they belong to Him. Parents are caretakers of the children God has given them. Baby dedication and child dedication are the act of giving back to God the gift he has given you as parents. It is an act of worship, thanksgiving, dependence, trust, and commitment.

Salvation only comes through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. It is not passed on to a child through dedication. When dedicating a child, parents promise to raise their children by modeling Godly principles with the desire that one day, their children will receive Jesus Christ as their personal Savior.
Is dedication the same as infant baptism or christening?

Child dedication is different from infant baptism or christening. While these rites are significant for a variety of faiths, it is the practice of Tabernacle Church to dedicate children.
When and Where is Baby and Child Dedication?

Child dedication is usually held on Mother's Day, Father's Day and the second Sunday in October. You must register for upcoming dedications.
Will I have to say anything?

You will not have to say anything. Each child will be introduced to the congregation and a pastor will pray for your child.
I am a single parent. May I still dedicate my child?

Absolutely!
Who should we invite, do I need to select “God parents” for my child?

Child Dedication is a very special time, so be sure to invite your family, friends, and/or CARE group members. There is no limit on the number of guest you may invite! We do not use the term "God parents" at Tabernacle Church, however we certainly support your choice of significant individuals to offer support, prayer, and encouragement and to hold you accountable to the commitment you will be making.
Do I have to be a member of Tabernacle Church to participate in Child Dedication?

No, participants do not have to be official (voting) members. We only ask that you be regular attendees with a desire to raise your child up in Godly, Christ centered home.
