CEF for your church
Why CEF?
CEF is the world’s largest children’s ministry in the world, reaching over 22 million children with the Gospel. All CEF material and training is top-notch and will equip your workers to effectively evangelize and disciple children in your community and church! All CEF training is Bible-centered and practical.
CEF wants to Partner with You
CEF does not exist without local Bible-centered churches. We want to partner with your church to help reach children who may never come to church. 75% of Iowa children don’t attend church, the need is great! CEF partners with hundreds of churches across Iowa to hold Good News Clubs® and JYC™ in the public schools, 5-Day Clubs® and Kids Summer Splash in the summertime and for teacher training seminars. We would love to partner with you!
