Baby Dedication Sunday
Having your baby or child dedicated at church is a meaningful way to acknowledge God’s gift of life and to commit, as parents and a community, to raise your child in faith. A dedication service is a simple, joyful gathering where pastors and family pray over your child, celebrate the new life, and publicly affirm promises to nurture spiritual growth, love, and moral guidance. It’s not a sacrament but a commitment—an invitation for the church family to walk alongside you, offering support, encouragement, and prayer. Whether you’re new to church or a long-time member, baby dedication marks an important spiritual milestone and brings the congregation together to rejoice in God’s blessings and the journey ahead. Fill out the form below if you are interested.

Water Baptism Sunday
Here at Discovery Community Church we believe Baptism is a meaningful step of faith. It is a public declaration of your decision to follow Jesus. It represents new life, forgiveness, and a fresh beginning, symbolizing being washed clean and raised into a life centered on God’s love and purpose. Whether you’re new to faith or ready to take your next step, baptism is a powerful way to share your commitment, celebrate what God is doing in your life, and join the church community in walking this journey together. We will have baptism Sunday on January 18th during service. If you are interested reach out to Pastor Ben at ben@discoverycc.org or fill out this form below.
