Your children are a precious gift to you. The opportunity to teach God's word to them is a precious gift to us. We are honored for the privilege of partnering with you in preparing their hearts for life.

The Anchor Kid's Church
What to expect . . . if you have an elementary age child, first through sixth grade, your child will worship with you in the sanctuary for the first two songs. Our worship leader will announce when the children can head to The Anchor. If it’s your child’s first Sunday, we ask that one parent walk your child to The Anchor. We want to make sure you and your child are comfortable. This is an environment that provides every child the opportunity to celebrate God through active worship, grow in knowledge and love for God through small groups, and participate in missions. After the service, please come to The Anchor to pick up your child. Visit The Anchor Page to see what they're learning and what all the excitement is about!
Baby / Child Dedication
Because children are a precious gift from God, we want to help encourage, affirm, and challenge parents to instruct their children in the Lord. During these special services, it's important to understand the promises being made by parents. Dedication is not so much about your child as it is you, the parents. The following questions are asked of parents the day of their child's dedication:
- Do you recognize that these children are precious lives who belong to God and have been entrusted into your care that you might teach them to delight in the Lord and reveal His grace by serving others?
- Do you promise to make your home a place where the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of your children can be met as God gives you the necessary resources to fulfill your role as parents?
- Do you promise to continually lead your children to Jesus Christ so that as they mature, they will have the opportunity to personally invite Him to become the Savior of their lives?
- Do you promise to raise your children according to the teaching and instruction of the Bible so that God's character may be formed in them and His purpose accomplished through them?
In order for you, as parents, to make and keep these promises, you must evaluate your own relationship with the Lord. In order to schedule your baby or child to be dedicated during one of our worship services, you must first be a covenant member. Please sign up and attend the parenting class. To see when the next class is offered, visit the events calendar and select the children's category. For more information,send an email to info@hopepoint.org.
