What is family dedication?
First Baptist Church, Ashland does not practice infant baptism, since we believe that a person should not be baptized until they are old enough to understand their commitment to Christ. As a congregation, we do celebrate the commitment of families to Jesus Christ upon the arrival of a new child. It is really a public commitment offered by the child’s parents that they will raise their child in a Christ-honoring home. We perform each family dedication individually, because we believe the arrival of each new child into a Christian family is a sacred and special moment that warrants the church’s celebration.
