Children are an integral part of the people of God and share in the life and experiences of a congregation. Because the choice to be baptized follows a personal decision involving responsibility that a child is not prepared to assume, congregations welcome children into the church in a service of consecration of children and parents. The service includes three emphases: consecration of the child, consecration of the parents, and consecration of the congregation as the spiritual family within which the child is nurtured and supported.Certificate of Child Consecration(name) was consecrated on (date) (congregation) (place) (parents) (minister)
