Child Dedications

In this equipping video, Andy sits down with Delia Conwell (Central Next Gen Pastor at Radiant Church) to reframe child dedications as the start of a discipleship journey—not just a one-time stage moment.


Topics covered include:

  • Dedication as a Family + Church Commitment  
  • Clarifying Misconceptions and the “Why”  
  • Supporting Families Long After Dedication Day  


Key takeaway for leaders  

  • Dedication celebrates parents choosing to raise their child in a Christ-centred home—and the church committing to support them.  
  • Reduce confusion by clearly explaining what dedication is and isn’t (before the event).  
  • Use simple onboarding (e.g. short video courses) to set expectations and build confidence.  
  • Follow up with age-appropriate next steps and rhythms as kids grow (babies to school age and beyond).  
  • Connect families into the wider church ecosystem (small groups, parenting groups, mums groups) so they’re not left alone after dedication day.
