Partnering with Parents

 

Our desire is to partner with parents in their efforts to equip children with an understanding of the truths of God's Word, the grace of the Gospel, and the character of God, so that they might worship the Lord with all their heart, soul, mind, and strength. Below are audio recordings from previous parenting classes at Four Oaks taught by our pastors, elders, and their wives.

 

Process for Child Dedication

 

Child dedications are a joyful yet solemn time for parents to publicly covenant with God to raise their children in the fear and admonition of the Lord. During a Sunday worship service, parents stand with their child before the church body and make commitments (along with the church members and leaders) to follow the Lord in discipling the child being dedicated. The dedication is done one family at a time to make it personal, meaningful, and convenient for family and friends coming from out of town. In order to dedicate your child, contact Pastor Scott to go over the dedication vows and plan the service.
