Baby Dedications

What is a Baby Dedication? Is it a Baptism? No. It’s a special ceremony where parents commit to raising their child in a Godly way, and the church promises to support the baby and the family. Many Christian churches hold Baby Dedications for infants who are too young to choose baptism for themselves.
