9AM Family Breakfast

Location: Canaland Cafeteria (we will have our team members directing you when you enter the building)

Join us for a free family breakfast as we talk about the heart behind Child Dedication. It’s a commitment to raise your child with a strong foundation of faith, surrounded by a church family that will encourage and support you along the way.

Parenting was never meant to be done alone. Child Dedication is an opportunity to acknowledge that God has a purpose for your child’s life and to invite your church community to stand with you as you lead them in faith. We’d love for you to be part of this special time together!

10:00 AM Dedication Service

During our 10am service, we will invite all the families on stage for a time of corporate prayer over all the children and families.

“Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.”

-Proverbs 22:6 ESV

Dedicating your child to the Lord at Refuge means three things:

1. Celebrating the new life in your family!

2. Welcoming your child into the church family.

3. Making an agreement with God and your church family to raise your child in a way that honors God and gives them the opportunity for a life-long relationship with Jesus.

We believe God has a good and perfect plan for every life. Faithful parenting looks like doing our part to raise our children to know God, staying engaged with a loving church community and entrusting our children’s future to Him.

At what age should I dedicate my child?

We invite you to dedicate your children from infancy up to 5 years old. Our heart behind child dedication is that you would allow us to join you in making a commitment as early as possible, acknowledging the crucial stages of nurturing and development that happen early in life.
