At Tables Church, we believe children are a gift from God and a vital part of our community. When we dedicate our children, we’re not just following a tradition—we’re making a heartfelt commitment to raise them in the way of Jesus, surrounded by Christ-centered community. Just as Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these” (Matthew 19:14), we want to create a culture where kids are welcomed, valued, and pointed toward the love of Christ from the very beginning. Like Hannah who dedicated Samuel to the Lord (1 Samuel 1:27–28), we offer our children back to God, trusting His plans for them and pledging to teach them to live the Gospel every day, to everyone, everywhere. In this moment, we also commit the parents—to lead their children with love, wisdom, and intentionality, modeling what it means to follow Jesus in everyday life. And as a church, we come alongside families in that journey—praying, encouraging, and helping build strong foundations of faith.
