CHILD DEDICATION & BAPTISM

Train up a child in the way he should go... when he is old he will not depart from it. - Prov. 22:6

Four times a year, we have a special service where we covenant our kids to the Lord. We would highly recommend these resources as you decide in which manner you would like to covenant your kids! 


At The Resolved Church, we leave it up to the Christian head of the household to decide whether or not to baptize or dedicate his children. We only ask for both sides to first be considered. Below are resources parents can use to help guide them in their decision.
