For Churches
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.
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
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!
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.
