Your Church and CEF^®

Is your church passionate about transforming the lives of children and ministering to your community?

Child Evangelism Fellowship ^® shares that passion and we are prepared and eager to help you impact your community for Christ through effective ministry to children in a Good News Club^® and 5-Day Club^®! God allows us to offer a proven plan, effective training and high-quality materials focused on bringing neighborhood children and their families into the local church.

As God works through His church serving in summer ministry and adopting a public school your people can multiply your eternal impact in your community.

Why is this partnership so important?

Have you heard of the 4/14 Window? It’s a wide-open window! It illustrates the ages between which 85% of decisions for Christ are made. There is a particular need to share the Gospel with boys and girls between the ages of 4 and 14. What is one way we can work on the 4/14 Window? Through the after school Good News Clubs^®! Imagine the impact on the children of the Central Orange County area if Good News Club^® were held in all the public elementary schools!

The Need:

There are approximately 385,000 children in the Orange County area
85% of decisions for Christ are made by age 14
Bible illiteracy in our nation and county

Adopt your local public elementary school by committing to:

Pray regularly
Send workers
Give financially
Welcome "unchurched" children and families into the church

Adopt a Public School

Churches having Bible clubs in public schools – is this a dream? No, it’s happening! Churches around the world are ministering to children through Good News Club^® in public schools. In June 2001 this privilege was extended to churches in the United States with a historical Supreme Court ruling (find out more).

God has opened the doors of public schools to the Gospel! CEF ^® is ready and eager to help churches enter the schools, fully equipped to share the Gospel and teach the Bible to school children and extend the biblical influence to families.

CEF ^® offers church partners a strategic plan, materials, training, support and mentoring. Through a God-centered partnership between the local church and CEF ^®, children’s lives change and churches grow.

Churches come to the partnership with the most important ingredient, God’s people. A team from your church will bring the Gospel of Jesus Christ to the school children. CEF ^® offers specialized training for this endeavor.

CEF ^® takes care of the major logistics of getting a club started: contacting the school, providing liability insurance and conducting background checks.
