Rock Church opens Child Dedication to families with children up to four years old. The church said that this is the time for parents to publicly proclaim their purpose to raise their kids to "know God, grow in God, and show God to others" on July 31.

In the events section, it was announced that there would be a July Dedication Class for interested parents on July 23. They noted that this class requires them to join the child dedication ceremony.

Besides, the program is also an opportunity for family, friends, and the Rock Church family to dedicate themselves to helping these parents.

Children’s Ministry

The Children Ministry webpage noted that the church offers hope to all volunteers, kids, and parents by showing the truths of God’s Word through age-appropriate materials.

As part of their program, they emphasized that they offer Rock Kids Online. They mentioned they are dedicated to working with parents so children can stay connected to God, friends, and caring leaders online.

Kids Church Live is an interactive worship experience designed for children, as posted on their website. It is an enjoyable opportunity for the whole family, so the church invites its members to join their leader and other kids.

The website also posted that they have social media accounts like Facebook and Instagram for their children's ministry. In these accounts, they announce the latest updates, fun challenges, and activities.

Child Dedication

The Life Church website explains that parents are the most vital influence in their child’s life. But they are noted as the only model that their kids need. The website mentioned that it is where the church family comes in.

Child dedication is a chance to invite others to enrich and influence one's children as they mature in their faith. They said it could lessen parenting pressure because they could have people who would love and lead their child well.

The website emphasized that kids do not start following Jesus by accident. When parents offer their children to God, they decide to raise their kids knowing who Jesus is.

They quoted the Bible verse from Deuteronomy 6:4-7, wherein God talks to His people to love the Lord with all their heart, soul, and might. God is giving these commandments to be placed in their hearts and tell them to their children. God wants His people to talk about His words at home, along the road, and even when they sleep and get up.

As people love God with everything they have, parents also show that love for their children because they know that their examples are far more robust than their words. The website said parents teach their children what it looks like to obey Jesus.

More importantly, they stated that leading children to live like Jesus is not a checklist on a parenting to-do list. It is intentional, ongoing talk that designs who they are now and who they are becoming.

The website also mentioned that Child dedications are a spiritually vital milestone for the whole family. It is deciding to make some parenting decisions that honor God.
