At Trailview Church, we believe that God entrusts children into the shepherding care of their parents. As parents, you are given the responsibility and blessing of raising your children in the way of the Lord, and the primary influence and responsibility for them lies in your hands. As a church, we, our members, want to partner with parents to support, care for, and encourage you in this endeavor.

In our church covenant our members make this vow to one another…

"We will advance the gospel in our homes by living as everyday missionaries through personal evangelism, community engagement, and church planting."

On Sunday, we will take a moment where you, the parents, will dedicate your child(ren) to the Lord, committing to do your best to raise them up in the Lord, and also the church partnering with you in that endeavor.

Why do we dedicate our kids?

Deuteronomy 6:4-7 says,

“Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise.”

Proverbs 22:6 says,

“Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.”

Psalm 127:3 says,

“Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, the fruit of the womb a reward.”

For Sunday, choose a verse that you will faithfully pray over your child to be shared with the church.

When you register on the Trailview app, please include the names of your child(ren) that you will be dedicating to the Lord, and the verse you’d like to be prayed over them.
