Baby Dedication
What is a Baby Dedication?
Children are a precious gift from the Lord and they belong, ultimately and always, to God – not their parents. God is responsible for the way in which they were designed and already knows the plan and purpose for their future. There are several examples of baby dedications in the Bible. Hannah dedicated her son, Samuel (the son for which she had prayed), to God. (1 Samuel 1:24-28) Joseph and Mary brought the infant child, Jesus, to the temple following His circumcision at eight days to present Him to the Lord. (Luke 2:22-24)
We know that salvation can only be obtained through a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. It cannot be passed on to a child through a baby dedication. A baby dedication is a confirmation of the parents’ love for God. It is a clarification of ownership of the child. It is a commitment from the parents to raise the child God’s way, with the desire that one day the child will receive Jesus Christ as their personal Savior.

Funerals
Our Heartfelt Condolences
We generally look forward to preparing for major life events such as a birth, wedding, or retirement. Although we seldom look forward to it, death is inevitable. The death of a loved one often opens a floodgate of emotions.
When planning a funeral or memorial service to honor, remember, and celebrate the lives of loved ones, we walk beside you during your season of grief. Members of our Ministry Team are here to assist families during these difficult times.
Weddings
Congratulations on your upcoming marriage!
Pastor Simmons and the staff at Greater St. Paul Church wish to extend assistance to you, so that your wedding ceremony will be a beautiful and memorable event. Care is taken to ensure that individuals are prepared spiritually and practically for their marriage.
We believe that God has ordained marriage and that every wedding performed at Greater St. Paul Church should be Christ-honoring.
