Ministries of Child Evangelism Fellowship®
Over the past 80 years, God has given Child Evangelism Fellowship (CEF®) several unique ministries that have proven to be effective tools in our effort to evangelize and disciple children.
Club Ministries
Find out how God continues to use the exciting club ministries CEF offers worldwide. The Good News Club® is a weekly afterschool program during the school year and is more popular than ever following the Supreme Court victory allowing Good News Club to take place in public schools across America. Our summer 5-Day Club® outreach takes place over the course of a five-day period, offering a unique opportunity for children to interact with teenagers who receive training in the Christian Youth in Action® program.
Good News Club
Good News Club® is a ministry of Child Evangelism Fellowship® in which trained teachers meet with groups of children in schools, homes, community centers, churches, apartment complexes, just about anywhere the children can easily and safely meet with their parent’s permission. Each week the teacher presents an exciting Bible lesson using colorful materials from CEF Press®. This action-packed time also includes songs, Scripture memory, a missions story and review games or other activities focused on the lesson’s theme. As with all CEF® ministries, the purpose of Good News Club is to evangelize boys and girls with the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ and establish (disciple) them in the Word of God and in a local church for Christian living.
5-Day Club
5-Day Club is an exciting, fun-filled one-and-a-half hours held each day for five consecutive days. It includes dynamic Bible lessons, creative learning activities, inspiring missionary stories, meaningful songs, and life-changing Scripture memorization. These summer clubs can be held in parks, daycares, community centers, churches, front and back yards, and even online. These clubs can make children’s summer vacation even more meaningful! The best part is that the teens trained in Christian Youth in Action are the ones who teach the children!
Christian Youth in Action
How are you spending your summer? As relaxing as it may be to chill at the pool or hang out with friends, what if you chose instead to make an eternal impact in the lives of kids right where you live? Junior high, high school and college-age students from around the state are coming together to reach the boys and girls of your community—and YOU can be a part of this team!
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-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.
After this training, you will either return to your local community or travel around the state and teach clubs at various locations with a team of other young people. These clubs take place out in the community with predominantly unsaved kids who don’t regularly attend church. You will be able to take the light of the Gospel to them in their apartment complexes, daycare centers, neighborhoods, schools, and other community locations. Depending on your schedule and the area in which you serve, you will teach clubs from two to six weeks during the summer.
