WATER BAPTISM
Water Baptism is a symbolic way (the way God has chosen) for us to identify with Jesus Christ in His death, burial and resurrection.
In this way, we are telling the world that we have been united to Jesus Christ, and because of that fact, we are new people on the inside who have died to the ways of sin and come alive to God and His ways of righteousness.
CHILD DEDICATION
Child Dedication is a time where parents offer their child (usually in infancy) to the Lord in dedication and promise to raise their child in the ways of the Lord and for God's glory.
​
It is viewed as a confirmation between the parents and the church to lay a Biblical foundation for the child's learning of God, until the child is old enough to make their own decision in accepting Christ as their personal saviour.
