Baby Dedication Ceremony - Traverse City

Kensington Traverse City offers a periodic Baby Dedication Ceremony for parents to publicly make a commitment before their friends and family to raise their children in a home where God is at the center. This is often your family’s first spiritual milestone with the church and our goal is to help you make it meaningful and memorable.

Our next Baby Dedication Ceremony will be Sunday, November 22 during the 11AM worship service.

When you sign-up for a Kensington Baby Dedication Ceremony, you are also asked to attend a Parent Class. In this class, we help you understand what baby dedication is and give you everything you need to prepare for this special day.

Once you register for our Baby Dedication Ceremony on November 22. Our KKids Director, Desiree Brown, will contact you to set up a Parent Class/meeting via Zoom.

The Kensington Executive Leadership Team gathers data from a multitude of sources and continues to monitor trends and listen to updates from our government leaders. Our decision making, though sometimes affected by governmental laws, has not been driven by regulations. Rather it is done in peace not in fear, through intentional prayer, by listening to the Spirit and taking the proper detailed precautions to ensure the safety of all involved especially our people who are immunocompromised, our precious children and our valuable older contingency. We love this community and value each and every one of you. Thank you for supporting us in this decision and following our protocols which call for everyone in our buildings to wear mask.
