Our Ministries
For more than 80 years God has given Child Evangelism Fellowship a number of unique ministries which have proven to be effective tools in our effort to evangelize and disciple children.
Good News Club
A Good News Club® meets kids right where they are in schools (yes, schools!), community centers, churches, and neighborhood homes, teachers who are screened, trained, and equipped lead action-packed Good News Clubs every week, delivering the timeless truths of the Bible in exciting, engaging ways. Children learn the Gospel, and many come to know Jesus as their Savior.
Fair Ministry
Children and families love special events! Whether seasonal or themed, families flock to fairs, festivals, and community events of all kinds! What could be more special than hearing the Gospel and trusting in Christ during one of these events? Not only are these short-term events a great way to reach children with the Gospel, but they are also a perfect way to get your feet wet as a CEF volunteer. Volunteers have the opportunity to reach children and their families who may not otherwise have the opportunity to hear the Good News of Jesus Christ.
Christian Youth In Action
Christian Youth In Action® (CYIA™) is a program designed to train you and a team of other young people in effective and engaging ways to teach children about God. You will attend a one to two-week training school where you will learn to present the Gospel clearly on a child’s level, counsel a child for salvation and lead a dynamic club ministry for kids. Components of this club include teaching a Bible lesson, a real-life missionary story, and a Bible verse as well as leading songs, games, and a fun review time
