While BFEC does not practice infant baptism, we encourage all members to "dedicate" their new-born to the Lord in our church.  This also extends to parents who have recently become born-again Christians and who now wish to dedicate their children too. Parents dedicating their child to our Lord not only seek God’s blessings and guidance in the upbringing of their child but also the loving accountability and fellowship of church members.  It is a time of renewal and commitment to:

• train each child to love the Lord and worship Him reverently in private and in public, and to study and subscribe to the teachings of the Holy Bible.
• lead each child, by precept and example, into the love of God and the service of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Requirements

1. Parents must be "born again" Christians in order to fulfil their solemn vow to "train up a child in the way he/she should go".
2. The dedication of each child, by one or both parents, is done during a church service, in the presence of God, and affirmed by the congregation.
3. Childrens' dedication is usually done once or twice a year, subject to need. Such services will be announced in the Church Bulletin.
4. Parents are strongly encouraged to contact the Church Office for the latest information and register their child for the next dedication.
5. The parents will be contacted by a Church Elder before the date of the dedication.
