Baby Dedications

Dedicating your baby is a public testimony of your intent to raise your child in the Christian faith, with the hope that he or she will one day make a personal commitment to Christ as their Savior. Dedications are held on the fourth Sunday of each month, at 11am in Rockaway and Lodi, and at 1pm in Montclair.

Parents and guardians who want to have their child dedicated are required to attend a pre-dedication class. To begin the process, simply fill out the form below.
