✦ Journey families
A little life. A beautiful calling.
God has entrusted you with a little life. You get to help them discover who He is. And you don’t have to do it alone.
✦ A calling worth celebrating
You lead. We walk with you.
There is something powerful about a family standing together and saying, “We want our child to know Jesus.” That’s what Child Dedication is about. It’s a commitment you make before God, your church family, and the people who love you.
You are the most important spiritual influence in your child’s life. We’re not here to take your place. We’re here to encourage you, pray with you, and help you keep pointing them toward Jesus. What a gift to get to do that together.

✦ Dedication & baptism
A dedication. A commitment. A beginning.
Child Dedication is not baptism. At Journey, baptism is a personal decision made after choosing to follow Jesus, usually around age ten or older. Dedication is your commitment as a parent to keep pointing your child toward Him as they grow, until they can make that decision for themselves.
