Parents or guardians are requested to present to the pastor their children to be dedicated to the Lord at an early age. The parents should then be instructed in the meaning of the Dedication and the vows to be made. It is the responsibility of the parents to rear their child or children in the Word of God and in the church. We recommend that at least one or both parents belong to the church or that the sponsors who are members of the local church become responsible for the Dedicatorial Vows.
The pastor shall then at the time of the Dedication Service present the parents or guardians of the child with a Certificate of Dedication.
