Parent Commissioning

General Information

At Cross Pointe, we realize parenting can be one of the most rewarding and adventurous times in life, as well as one of the most overwhelming times. It is our desire to help encourage and equip you to be Godly parents through this journey. By being a part of the Parent Commissioning service, you are committing to do your best to model Christ in your home, as well as raise your child in a way that leads him or her to God so ultimately, he or she will understand their need for salvation.

Parent Commissioning is highlighted with a time in our Cross Pointe worship service, as our faith family commits with you to bring up your child in the nurture and admonition of the Lord (Ephesians 6:4). Cross Pointe’s Preschool Ministry will host a fellowship and give a gift to families participating in the Commissioning Service.

What is the difference between Parent Commissioning and infant baptism?

At Cross Pointe, we believe that baptism is something done only after the person has made a conscious choice to surrender to Jesus Christ as their Savior. Commissioning is a way for parents to publicly commit to raise their child in a Christian atmosphere.

What is the age limit on Parent Commissioning?

We typically commission parents with newborn children through preschool age.
