It’s a great moment when parents sense that their child is a gift from God. Our child dedication celebration provides an opportunity for parents to publicly express their decision to raise their child in a way that honours God. It is also a time for our church community to say, “we will partner with you in this journey”.
Dedication celebrations are held twice yearly (spring/fall) during the morning services and include a pre-requisite class for parents. Our next Child Dedication services will be held on Sunday, November 5, 2023, at both sites.
Our Child Dedication Prep class will be held in person on Sunday, October 22, 10:00 am at the Cambridge site, and 6:00 pm at the Kitchener site. This class is required for parents who have not yet taken it or have not taken it recently.
Register here for the Cambridge class.
