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.
