Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between baby dedication and baptism?
Baby dedication is a commitment by parents to raise their child in faith, while baptism is a personal decision made by an individual who can understand and choose to follow Christ. We practice believer's baptism by immersion for those old enough to make their own decision.
Do both parents need to be members of City Life?
While we encourage membership, it's not required for both parents. However, at least one parent should be a regular attendee who is committed to raising the child according to Christian principles.
When do baby dedications take place?
Baby dedications typically take place during our regular Sunday services, either morning or evening. We schedule them monthly or as needed based on the number of registrations.
Can family and friends attend the dedication?
Absolutely! Baby dedication is a celebration for the whole family. We encourage you to invite grandparents, family members, and friends to witness this special moment.
