Baby Dedication Baby Dedication is an opportunity to publicly dedicate your children to God and commit yourself to raising them with His help. In dedicating your child to God, you also commit yourself to do everything you can to teach and train them to follow God, to lead a Christ-centered life and to develop a personal relationship with Him. You are taking up the calling God has given you and making your commitment to love and nurture them. By giving your child to God, you are acknowledging His partnership in the parenting process and asking for His wisdom. The Parent/Church Partnership: Our church wants to come alongside you in developing a spiritual foundation for your child. Through our Family Ministry programs, we work with families to make your spiritual journey a special and successful one. Baby Dedication is offered twice a year. For more information or for requirements to dedicate your baby, contact Julie Conor, Beginnings Coordinator. Attending Discovering Southeast and an event orientation is required to participate in the dedication event. Baptism for Children At Southeast, we wait to baptize a child until the child is old enough to understand and decide for themself to follow Christ. For children and families who are ready to make this choice or would like more information, we offer a Baptism class. This class is a fun presentation where parents and children (1st grade through 6th grade) can come and learn what it means to join God's family and have a relationship with Jesus that lasts forever. We talk about what every child needs to know about faith, sin, forgiveness, baptism and what happens next in your journey with God. Please contact Kira Mullis, Family Ministries Assistant, if you have any questions. Classes are the third Sunday of every month during the 11:00 am service. The Classes are:
