Child Dedication

CONTACT: Stacy Vickroy

​​

• Child dedication is a special event where parents publicly commit to raising their children in the faith, seeking God's guidance. During the service, families are supported by the church through prayer and encouragement, affirming their role in nurturing their child's spiritual growth. This is not a baptism, but a celebration of the child’s life and a commitment to God's plan for their future. We invite parents to take this step in their faith journey and experience the support of our church community.

Kids Store

CONTACT: Erin Conner

 

• The Kids Store at Emmanuel Church is a fun space where children are rewarded for their involvement in the Kids Ministry. Kids earn "coins" by attending services, memorizing Bible verses, and participating in activities. The store offers age-appropriate toys, books, and items that support the values of our ministry, promoting spiritual growth, community, and discipleship.
