First Baptist Decatur believes children are a gift from God. We are excited you are interested in dedicating your child. The purpose of child dedication is to present your child before God and the church, commit to seeking God’s wisdom as you carry out your responsibilities, raising your child for His purpose with love and grace.

We believe Psalm 127:3, which says, “Children are a heritage from the Lord.” Children are God’s gift and blessing; child dedication is a time to celebrate and thank God for your gift. You are committing to modeling what following Jesus looks like, to raise your child to understand salvation is by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, to believe the Bible is absolute Truth, and to know the importance of being in a community of faith through the local church.
