Family Commissioning/5th Family Sunday
The purpose of Family Commissioning is for parents to present their child before God and the church, committing to seek after His grace and wisdom in carrying out their responsibilities. We believe Psalm 127:3, which says “Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from him.”
Family Commissioning is a time for us to celebrate and thank God for the gift of your children. It’s also a time for you, as parents, to commit to model what following Jesus looks like and to raise your children to understand that they are saved by grace through faith in Jesus Christ, to believe that the Bible is absolute Truth, and to know the importance of committing to a community of faith through the local church.
