Dedication of Babies

At Restoration Worship Center we only baptize adults, and children (12 years old or older) that we consider old enough to make a commitment to follow Jesus Christ. Baby dedications are normally conducted after the sermon on Sunday morning. Parents who want to dedicate their children will normally take the following steps:

• Contact the church to request a baby dedication.
• Show up for the scheduled dedication.

Baptism

Jesus commanded his disciples to make new disciples and to baptize them with water. We believe that everyone who makes a commitment to follow Jesus Christ must be baptized by being immersed in water. We conduct baptism services during the year to follow the teaching of Jesus. Candidates for baptism must meet the following criteria:

• You must be committed to following Jesus Christ and be ready to publicly acknowledge him as Lord and Savior.
• You must be medically fit to be baptized in water.
• You must successfully complete the Restoration Worship Center class about baptism.

Funerals

At Restoration Worship Center we are committed to supporting those who are under our pastoral care during times of personal loss. Contact the church office for more information or how we can help during your time of need.
