Parent/Child Commitment

In order to participate in Parent/Child Commitment, you must be a member of the church.

Yes!  Parent/Child Commitment signifies that you as the parents will do your best to raise their child to be a follower of Christ.  As a church, Concord is committed to supporting single parents in providing a Christian foundation for their child’s upbringing.

We believe that God’s Word teaches that parents who are living together should do so in a covenant marriage relationship.  If this is not your situation, please set up a time to visit with one of our pastors.

We do not have a set age requirement for child dedication.  The average age for a child to be dedicated is four months up to two years, although many parents dedicate children much older than that.

Concord believes that Parent/Child Commitment does not impart grace or salvation to a child.  Salvation comes only through faith in Jesus Christ as each person recognizes their sinfulness and receives forgiveness and eternal life through Christ and His sacrifice.
