Child Dedication

We are so thrilled that you are interested in dedicating your child to the Lord! At The Gathering, child dedication is where parents and the church partner together, committing to the Lord to lead them to seek a relationship with Jesus, know they are known & loved by God and live our His purpose for their life.

As parents, you play a pivotal role in the spiritual journey of your child (Proverbs 22:6). As a church, we commit to coming alongside you in this journey towards living out their purpose and pursuing a growing relationship with Jesus. When you dedicate your child, you are also committing to being an example of someone who pursues their own relationship with Jesus, live a life that glorifies Christ and exhibit characteristics of Jesus for your children
