Bringing The Gospel

To The Children

Child Evangelism Fellowship® (CEF®) is a non-profit ministry to children. Our desire is to partner with churches to train, equip and support the local church as they impact their communities for Christ.
Our purpose is to evangelize boys and girls with the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, disciple them in the Word of God, and establish them in a Bible-believing church for Christian living.

Introducing Cef of Collier

CEF of Collier is the local chapter of Child Evangelism Fellowship®, the world’s largest children’s ministry organization. Established in Collier County in 2002, CEF of Collier currently serves 15 of the 32 public elementary schools in the county through Good News Club, with a goal of reaching all 32 schools by 2030.

We are here to help you and your church reach the next generation of children and families with the Gospel of Jesus Christ in a meaningful and effective way.

Our Mission

CEF of Collier is the local chapter of Child Evangelism Fellowship®, the world’s largest children’s ministry organization. We exist to help you and your church effectively reach the next generation of children and youth with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

What is a Good News Club?

Whatever a child believes by the age 13 is, in most cases, what he she will die believing.

GNC Registration

(GNC) is an exciting, fun-filled

weekly after-school club for kids

in which the Bible is clearly taught

with games, Scripture memory, Missionary Stories,and Wonder Time.

Children will learn:

God loves them.
Every person has value.
How God can help them do the right thing, find victory in challenging times, and show love to others.

Church Partnership

CEF of Collier partners with churches as we seek together to accomplish the Great Commission. Good News Clubs are generally held in local elementary schools, which have become one of the greatest mission fields of our generation.

Good News Club is not meant to replace a church’s children’s ministry—it is meant to extend it. It gives churches the opportunity to build relationships with children and families who may never otherwise enter a church building. Through this ministry, we have seen children come to Christ, families begin attending church, and volunteers grow in leadership and spiritual maturity.

Grow The Partnership

The Partnership

A partnership with CEF provides an opportunity for your church to reach the children and families of your community right where they are - the public schools!

This extension of your children's ministry is achieved through a once a week after-school program called the Good News Club.

Children meet for 1 1/2 hours in an engaging environment filled with interactive Bible Lessons, games, songs, and Scripture memory taught by volunteers

from your church that are trained and equipped through Child Evangelism Fellowship.

The Benefits

Provides contact with new families (of Good News Club participants), whom you can invite to special events and your Sunday services.
Allows your church to be a blessing to children, their families, their schools, and your community!
Opens up channels of communication with school districts, school principals, and potentially community centers and daycares.
Provides a fun and impactful way to mobilize church members of all ages for missionary outreach opportunities in your community.
Builds trust and relationships with unchurched children and families.
Establishes a safe haven for unchurched families - giving them somewhere to turn when needs arise or when they are looking for a church to attend.
Helps your congregation maintain a vision for lost souls through verbal reports, sharing prayer needs and praises, and bulletin inserts regarding
club activities and testimonials.
Trains and develops new volunteer workers not only for your Good News Club but for your church's children's ministry program.
