Parent/Child Dedication Service

Parents desiring to have their child(ren) dedicated to the Lord will be given this opportunity during the morning worship services several times each year. FFC does not baptize infants. We believe that baptism is a step of obedience made by a person who has put his or her faith and trust in Jesus Christ for salvation. Baptism is an outward expression of what has already occurred in the life of a believer. In Parent/Child Dedication, parents and church make a public commitment to “train up a child in the way he should go,” as God instructs in Proverbs 22:6. We give thanks for the gift of life and ask God’s blessing upon parents and children in the hope that each child will trust Jesus as Savior and Lord someday.
