Parent Commitment

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

Yes!  Parent 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 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.
