Dedication
Faith Path step recommended for ages 0-2.
Commit to raising your child in a God-honoring home.
Introduction
We believe that God designed the family as the primary place for discipleship. The Faith Path initiative exists to partner with you as you guide your child’s spiritual journey one step at a time. Age-appropriate kits have been created to help you leverage the best faith formation strategy for your child’s stage of development. In this Dedication kit, you will find practical ideas and suggested resources to help you begin the journey well. We urge you to start today by taking the following simple steps.
- Pick up - If you haven't already received one, pick up your Dedication Kit at one of our BBCHome displays near the office or in the Kids Church lobby (gym). This kit includes our Dedication Guide and other resources you'll find helpful!
- Explore - Explore the printed and online resources provided and discern which resources are a good fit for your family.
- Learn - Use the Dedication Guide and other provided resources to help you learn about the value of dedication and tips on honoring God as you care for your new baby.
Thank you for taking seriously the task of guiding your child’s faith. We hope you find these tools helpful in the process of forming the faith of your child at home.
