Child Dedications at CrossPointe Coast
Psalm 78:7
So that they should set their hope in God
and not forget the works of God,
but keep his commandments
Children are a blessing from the Lord; tiny disciples in our homes and in the midst of the congregation. That is why we at CrossPointe Coast invite partners (members) with young children (0-24 months) to participate in our Child Dedication Sunday.
Child dedication is an opportunity for parents and the congregation to declare our intention to faithfully point these children to Jesus as long as they are in our midst.
Please note that at least one parent must be an official partner at CrossPointe Coast.
The Parent's Covenant
Deuteronomy 6:4-7
Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, 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.
When you entered into covenant partnership with CrossPointe Coast you committed to both intentional pursuit of Jesus in your household and to participation in the life of the congregation. We believe that these two aspects of our partnership together are essential for pointing our households to Jesus.
YOUR COVENANT TO CROSSPOINTE COAST
- I will endeavor to maintain a close relationship with the Lord by regular bible reading, prayer, fellowship & practice of other spiritual disciplines.
- I will participate actively in both Celebration Service and Community Group.
The Congregation's Covenant
Psalm 78:4
We will not hide them from their children, but tell the coming generation the glorious deeds of the LORD, and his might, and the wonders that he has done.
One of the more interesting things about our partnership covenant is that as soon as you make the commitments of a partner, you also make the commitments of the congregation to the other members of the congregation. We commit ourselves to seeking the growth of the other believers, to teaching the scriptures to one another, to praying for one another, and to setting an example as faithful partners in the gospel together.
The pastor will ask the partners of CrossPointe Coast, along with any family and friends who wish to join us, to reaffirm those commitments to your family and, specifically, to your children.
CROSSPOINTE COAST'S COVENANT TO YOU
- We commit ourselves to lovingly caring for you and seeking your growth in Christ.
- We covenant to provide teaching and counsel from the Scriptures.
- We covenant to pray for you regularly, particularly when you are sick.
- We covenant to set an example and join you in fulfilling the duties of church members.
