The Biggest Story leads readers on an exciting journey through the Bible, from the Garden of Eden to the return of Christ. This fun curriculum, based on the book, draws kids into Scripture and helps them grasp its overarching message of redemption.
Harbour Kids
Introducing Kids to the Love of Jesus.
Our Harbour Kids spaces and small groups are set up for age-appropriate conversations and activities that introduce kids to the love and knowledge of Jesus in a fun and memorable way.
Give Yourself Time to Sign-In
Our kids’ program runs the duration of our hour-long Worship Service each Sunday morning. So we would encourage you to arrive at least 15 minutes early so that you have enough time to sign your kids in, connect with friends, and find your seat.
Your Child's Safety is Our Priority
Your child’s safety is your priority, so we make it ours also. That’s why all of our volunteers are rigorously screened, pass a police check, and are specially trained to provide a safe environment for your children. Your trust is something we do not take for granted.
What is Child Dedication?
Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from him.
—Psalm 127:3
The purpose of this dedication is for parents to present their young child (around 3 and under) before God and the church, committing to seek God’s grace and wisdom in carrying out their responsibilities in raising their children to know and experience Jesus’ love personally.

Common Questions:
What is a Child Dedication?
Child Dedication is a special opportunity for parents to publicly commit their child and family to the Lord before the church community. This dedication has three purposes:
1. Consecrate the Child
Like Hannah dedicated Samuel to the Lord (1 Samuel 1), parents acknowledge that their child is a gift from God and commit to raising them to know and follow Him.
2. Commission the Parents
Parents commit to seeking God’s wisdom and faithfully teaching their children to love and follow Jesus (Deuteronomy 6:5–7).
3. Charge the Church
Our church family commits to encouraging, supporting, and praying for parents as they raise their children in the faith.
Is Dedication Different than Baptism?
Yes. As a community, we believe in a believer’s baptism by immersion. The purpose of water baptism is to publicly confess your commitment to following the ways and words of Jesus. This is generally practiced with anyone 12 years old or older. Learn more.
Parents Commitments
Because parents play the most significant role in shaping their children’s faith, dedication begins with the following commitments:
- Have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.
- Lead by example through water baptism.
- Regularly attend The Harbour’s worship services.
- Align with The Harbour’s beliefs and values.
