If you would like a physical copy, we would love to give you one! Come worship with us for Manitou Worship Nights on the Last Tuesday of each month at 6:30p at Fields Park.

We believe child dedications are the declaration of you, as parents, to raise your child to know and understand God and a relationship with Him through Jesus Christ. Child dedications can occur at any time in a child’s life (not just as infants) because it is your vow to God, as opposed to the decision of your child. In our one-hour Child Dedication class, we walk through the Bible verses and passages that will train our parents to understand their God-given roles, teach them how to bless their children, and prepare them for the day of dedication itself.
If you are interested in the child dedication class and dedicating your child, register below!
Upcoming Child Dedication Class Dates: July 14, September 1, and November 3 at 9:00 am
Upcoming Child Dedication Dates: August 4, October 20, and December 1 at 9:00 or 11:00 am
