Pointing your child to Jesus 👣

Parent-Child Dedications

A special moment where parents commit to raising their child to know and follow Jesus. While salvation is a personal decision each child will make when they're ready, this dedication marks a parent’s promise to lay a strong foundation of faith through love, teaching, and example.

Dedication FAQs

We believe child dedication is more than a one-time moment—it’s a partnership. That’s why we invite all parents to attend a short class before the ceremony. In it, we’ll walk through what this commitment means, share ways we want to support you as parents, and help you take the next step with confidence.

Upcoming Clases
  • Who can dedicate a child?

    Child dedication is open to parents, legal guardians, and foster parents who are ready to commit to raising their child in a Christ-centered home.

  • Is there an age limit for child dedication?

    Yes! Children from birth up to age 5 are eligible for dedication. This ceremony is designed for families who want to publicly commit to raising their little one to know and follow Jesus.

  • What should we wear?

    There’s no dress code at Foundations. Most people keep it casual—jeans, t-shirts, hats—it’s all welcome. Come as you are!

  • Do I need to be a regular part of Foundations to dedicate my child?

    You don’t need to be a member or regular attender, but we do encourage you to engage in the life of the church. Being part of a Christ-centered community is a key part of raising your child in faith.

  • Are there spiritual requirements for parents?

    Yes. At least one parent or guardian must be a committed follower of Jesus and actively living out their faith. We believe child dedication is a reflection of your desire to lead your child toward Jesus—starting with your own example.

  • What if we’re not married?

    If you're a single parent, you're welcome to dedicate your child—provided you're not living with a partner outside of marriage. Because we strive to honor God in everything we do, we ask that unmarried couples living together make changes to their relationship (either by choosing to marry or adjusting their living arrangement) before participating in child dedication.

  • Why does Foundations hold these standards for dedication?

    We know nobody’s perfect—every one of us is growing in grace. These dedication guidelines are rooted in Scripture and our desire to honor God through integrity and obedience. We're here to walk with you, answer questions, and support you in your journey.
