Parent Commissioning Sunday, December 7

Parent commissioning is what we call the process that you may know as 'baby dedication'. On a Parent Commissioning Sunday, parents who are owners of Immanuel and their child(ren) gather together at the front of the stage with one of our pastors and make a commitment before the church. The commitment made by the parents is a promise to "train up [their] child in the way they should go" (Proverbs 22:6). It is a promise that they will look to the Lord as they raise and teach their child(ren) what it means to follow Jesus, both by word and by example. That is why we call it Parent Commissioning.

This is less a dedication of a child and more a commitment of the parent(s), making the most of this incredible opportunity given them to walk with their children as they grow together with the Lord.
