And they were bringing children to him that he might touch them, and the disciples rebuked them. But when Jesus saw it, he was indignant and said to them, “Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.” And he took them in his arms and blessed them, laying his hands on them. - Mark 10:13-16

CHILD DEDICATION

While we don't practice infant baptism because we believe that baptism is strictly for the person who has confessed faith in Jesus Christ, we do practice child dedication. 

Child dedication is done at church in front of the entire congregation. It's saying that we, the church, are committed to praying for this child and their family, to come along-side the parents as they raise their child to know Jesus and his work on the cross, and to be examples to the child of what it looks like to be a dedicated disciple of Christ. 

Child dedication is for those who call TAC their home church. If you would like to know more about child dedication or would like to have your child dedicated, please email the church office

 

"Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it." - Proverbs 22:6
