Parent Commissioning
&
Child Dedication
At Hope Bible Church Kelowna, we commission parents to publicly dedicate their children to the Lord.
-
Parents are acknowledging their child as a gift from God (Psalm 127: 3-5).
-
Parents are publicly declaring their intention to raise their child in such a way that they are given an opportunity to know God and to establish a personal relationship with Christ (Deuteronomy 6:49, Ephesians 6:4).
-
Parents are affirming their total dependence upon the Lord (John 15:5).
-
Parents are asking family, friends and the church community to prayerfully support and hold them accountable to these commitments (Hebrews 10:24-25)
