Baptism is a public declaration as an outward sign of an inward faith. The water of baptism represents God’s love that covers all our sins, and when someone is baptized, we proclaim that they belong to God and to the Body of Christ (the Church).

Baby dedications are a commitment to raise your child in the ways of the Lord. This is a public declaration of your desire to obediently raise your child in the knowledge and instruction of the Lord with a community of believers who know you and can

commit to walking with you in this commitment.

Some of our most meaningful and sacred moments at The Grove have been the baptisms, recommitments, and dedications of men, women, and children.  At The Grove, we take baptisms and dedications seriously, and ask that you prepare for your (or your child’s) baptism or dedication by attending one of our regularly held classes.
