Here at Encounter, we encourage parents of young children to participate in our Child Dedication service.  In Presenting Your Child to the Lord, You Are:

1. Publicly affirming your faith and trust in Christ.

2. Committing yourself to pray daily for the physical, mental, social and spiritual welfare of your child.

3. Setting an example of attending the weekly gatherings.

4. Modeling before your children your love for God and His Word in your home.  

“And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might.  And these words I am commanding you today, shall be on your heart; and you shall teach them diligently to your sons and shall talk of them when you sit in your house and when you walk by the way and when you lie down and when you rise up.”  Deuteronomy 6:5-7

5. Looking for that ‘teachable moment’ when you might present Christ to your child and have the joy of leading him into a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

If you are interested in dedicating your child to the Lord, we will be holding a dedication service on May 11, 2025, during our regular worship service.  

We ask that you register your child for this service by filling out the registration form.  Please respond no later than April 27, 2025, to be included in this service. If you have any questions, please contact the staff at Encounter Community Church by calling 616-794-5080 or emailing us at hello@encounter-cc.org.
