At Compass our desire is for children and families to thrive. Child Dedication is a meaningful way for parents and guardians along with our church family to commit to raising children in the love and knowledge of God and connect them to Jesus and to community.

Child dedication is a public celebration of God’s blessing and gift of children, a sacred trust. During the dedication service, parents and guardians commit before God, church, and family to pursue and embrace a deep, loving relationship with God through Jesus Christ, modelling and nurturing the same in their children. 

Parents and guardians seek the support of the body of Christ (church and family), and the guidance of the Holy Spirit as they offer themselves and their children to God. The church and extended family respond with a loving commitment to support the parents as they all journey together.
