Baby Dedication is a celebration where you, the parent, profess your commitment to following Jesus Christ and leading your child into a growing relationship with Him, in the presence of God, your family, and your church family. It is a commitment as a parent to live out the Biblical principle of Proverbs 22:6: “Start children off on the way they should go, and even when they are old they will not turn from it.” In partnering with Hillside to dedicate your child, you can expect the church to come alongside you with consistent Biblical teaching, encouragement, and fellowship from a community of believers as you raise your child to know Jesus as Lord and Savior.

During the service, families who are dedicating their children are invited to stand in front of the congregation for a short time of blessing and prayer. We ask that only parents and children stand for recognition during the service. But family members and friends are welcomed and encouraged to come to the service!

Most of the children who take part in a dedication service are newborns through three-year-olds. If you have a child older than three, let us know, and we would love to talk with you about ways we can partner with your family to show our support and celebrate your spiritual commitment.
