For this boy I prayed, and the LORD has given me my petition which I asked of Him. So I have also dedicated him to the LORD; as long as he lives he is dedicated to the LORD... (1 Samuel 1:27 - 28 NASB)

What We Believe about Baby Dedication

Baby dedication is a moment in which parents make a public commitment before the Lord and their church to raise their child according to God’s Word and His ways. The idea of dedicating a child to the Lord can be found in the Bible in 1 Samuel 1 when Hannah promised to dedicate her child to God if He would give her a son.

Baby dedication does not imply salvation but acknowledges that each person is a gift from God and was created by Him for a purpose. At baby dedication, parents are declaring that they will raise up their children in the ways of the Lord.
