BABY DEDICATION

• A Baby Dedication is a ceremony in which Christian parents make a commitment before the Lord to raise their child according to God's Word. The church also makes a commitment to teach the child the Word of God as they faithfully attend services.
  

• A child can be dedicated at any age. Some prefer to bring their child to the Lord as infants. This is the normal pattern in most churches.

• Baby Dedications are scheduled the on last Sunday or every other month.

• We ask that only the child's parents come forward on the stage due to the amount of baby dedications every other month. However, we do welcome family and friends to attend the service. Reserved seating is available.

WATER BAPTISM
Water Baptism is a Christian's public declaration that they are born again and committed to becoming a disciple of Christ.

• Policy Statement: Every person who has made Jesus the Lord of their life should be baptized in water. At Praise, we wait until children are old enough to understand the true significance of baptism before we permit them to be baptized. 
  
• We typically baptize teens in the 6th grade & older.
• Details are outlined in the Water Baptism Informational Meeting
• During the Water Baptism ceremony, we ask those being baptized to state their name and to share with the group a brief testimony of what the Lord has done in their life.

                  A Water Baptism Certificate will be printed by Praise Assembly for each person to keep.
