Many believers make the decision to follow Jesus as a child or teenager. That is why so many of our weekend service baptisms feature kids following Jesus in this important step of faith. We want every child being baptized to truly understand their decision to follow Jesus and to be baptized. To ensure kids are ready for baptism and to help families lead their kids in their spiritual journey, we ask that after expressing interest a child participates in a scheduled baptism interview with an RPK team member. We LOVE seeing kids taking this big step in their faith and we look forward to celebrating your child’s baptism with you!

How old does my child need to be? Every child is unique and may come to understand the Gospel at different ages. Although we are open to exceptions, we generally offer baptism classes for kids 8 years of age and older.

How do I know if my child is ready? That’s a great question and this is precisely why we offer a Baptism interview. Knowing if your child is ready should be clear after the interview. Our salvation guide for families will help you start the conversation with simple and meaningful basics about Jesus and faith.

How do I schedule a Baptism Interview? Email baptism@rockypeak.org to be put on a contact list to receive updates and the most current baptism dates. Your information will be sent to RPK and a member of the team will reach out to you to schedule an interview.

One of the best ways to prioritize faith for your child is through Child Dedication. Child Dedication is actually the first major faith milestone for kids at Rocky Peak and it gives parents the opportunity to pause and intentionally prioritize some things in regard to their kids. For parents to have a full understanding and context regarding the important role they play within the dedication, parents are required to complete an online registration form and attend a dedication orientation before signing up for an upcoming Dedication Celebration.

Is this the same thing as baptism? The Church at Rocky Peak does not offer infant baptism as we believe that a child must be old enough to understand what it means to put his/her faith in Christ before he/she can be baptized.

How young does my child need to be? We usually dedicate children who are three years old or younger. However, we often have unique circumstances where a parent wants to dedicate older children to the Lord. Ultimately, Child Dedication has a major emphasis on a parent’s commitment to spiritually leading their children, regardless of their age.

Who needs to attend the class? We offer 2 to 3 Orientations a year that are scheduled before Child Dedications to give parents a few options. We ask that both parents attend the class. Your child does not need to attend.

What if I have attended the orientation before? We have recently revamped our Child Dedication Orientation, so even if you have attended a Child Dedication Class for a previous child, at this point we are asking that each family attend our updated Orientation.

Can friends/family participate? Yes! We believe that Child Dedication is best experienced surrounded by a circle of friends and family who will support you and your child in the coming years.

How do I register for Child Dedication?  Register for the orientation by clicking the link on our Rocky Peak Kids page or by emailing us at rpk@rockypeak.org and we’ll send you the link to sign up.
