Child Naming

Home / Child Naming & Dedication Service

A Sacred Moment in God's House

Every child is a precious gift from God, and at COG Karanampettai, we celebrate this gift through our Child Naming and Dedication Service held during our regular Sunday worship. This beautiful tradition follows the biblical example of Jesus blessing children (Mark 10:13-16) and mirrors how Mary and Joseph presented Jesus at the Temple (Luke 2:22).

What to Expect

1. A Meaningful Spiritual Ceremony

  • Parents bring their child forward during Sunday service
  • Pastor announces the child’s name with prayer
  • Entire congregation participates by lifting hands in united prayer
  • Special biblical blessing spoken over child and parents

2. Three-Fold Commitment

  1. Parents Commit to raise their child in God’s ways
  2. Church Family Commits to support the child’s spiritual growth
  3. We Together Ask God to guide and protect the child’s life

3. Simple Preparation

  • Inform pastor in advance (even the same morning is fine)
  • Bring your child dressed comfortably
  • Invite family/friends to witness this special moment

Why We Do This

  • To follow biblical instruction (1 Samuel 1:27-28)
  • To establish the child’s spiritual foundation
  • To unite the church in praying for our next generation

"Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from Him."
