At ACC Downtown, child dedications are a special moment where parents publicly commit to raising their children in the love and truth of Jesus, while the church family commits to supporting them in that calling. It’s not a baptism or a means of salvation, but rather a celebration and covenant of faith—recognizing that children are a gift from God and that parents are called to steward that gift faithfully. During the dedication, parents express their desire to lead their children toward knowing Christ, and the congregation stands with them in prayer, committing to walk alongside the family as a community of encouragement, example, and support.
