    Young Families Group

    Raising a child is hard work. You have all the normal issues of changing diapers, dealing with bad attitudes, and teaching good manners. But then on top of it you’re also supposed to disciple your kids? Is that the same as disciplining your kids? Is a 4 year old even old enough to follow Jesus? What if they’re 8?

    The Young Families Group meets on Sundays to discuss what it means to raise the next generation of Christ followers. They say it takes a village to raise, kids and we agree. Which is why this group exists. 

    Child Dedication

    Child dedication is when a family commits to raising their child in household that loves God. It is a commitment by the parents to act like Christ and to teach their children to do the same. It is a commitment from the church to support the parents as they seek to make disciples of their children.

    If you have a child that you would like to dedicate or have questions about child dedication, please visit this link.
