Together We Can
For 88 years, God has built up CEF® as an excellent resource for children’s ministry. As churches partner with CEF, together we can impact families, make a difference in inner cities, and get ministries into areas where there are no churches. Churches will benefit from the specialized training and excellent resources CEF offers and through the partnership of churches, more children will hear the Good News of Jesus.
Our Ministries
Good News Club®
Good News Club ministries take place in neighborhood settings such as homes, schools and community centers all over the world and are designed to bring the Gospel of Christ to children on their level in their environment.
5-Day Club ®
In June all across the USA thousands of young people are trained to conduct 5-Day Clubs. Throughout the summer they have many opportunities to present the Gospel to boys and girls, experiencing the joy of leading others to the Lord.
Christmas Party ClubsTM
Many children today don’t regularly attend church and have never heard the true meaning of Christmas. Wouldn’t it be great if thousands of children learned about the Christ of Christmas this year?
Camp Good News®
The international Camp Good News program has been an active part of the ministry of CEF throughout the years. Using CEF owned or rented facilities, trained staff maintain an exciting program focused on evangelism and discipleship.
Military Children’s Ministry
Military life can be difficult for all involved. Children in military families need people in their lives to anchor them in Jesus Christ, the Rock of Ages. A Good News Club held in a home or school in a military neighborhood provides stability and life-changing truth.
Junior Youth Challenge®
Junior Youth Challenge is an evangelistic and discipleship ministry for young people ages 11-14. This ministry bridges the gap between Good News Club and the Christian Youth In Action program and encourages young people to go on to serve in CEF ministry through CYIATM.
FIND A LOCAL CHAPTER NEAR YOU
CEF’s mission reaches children around the world through dedicated local chapters. These chapters offer Christ-centered programs and activities that equip children with the Gospel message and help them develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ.

How to Deal with Strong-Willed Children and Behavioral Challenges
Dec 29, 2025
My son is three years old. He is hilarious, busy, and has energy to fuel at least three other kids (or at least it seems that way)! He already has a very strong personality. He loves people, but he also loves the idea of being in charge.
Using Technology in Sunday School: Teaching with Tech
Dec 22, 2025
Does the phrase, "Teaching with technology in Sunday school" make you say "YES!" or "Uh oh!"? I’ll admit, I’m a little of both. My personal collection of smart devices is very small and my church doesn’t have a ton of tech stuff in our classrooms either.
How to Lead a Child to Christ: Counseling for Salvation
Dec 15, 2025
Leading a child to Jesus can be both exciting — and frightening. What if you say the wrong thing? What if she asks a question that you don’t know the answer to? How do you know if the child is sincere?
When I was four years old my mom opened our home to a Good News Club®. Though Mom was not saved, she would sit in the club each week and listen as the lesson was taught. One day after club I told my mom I wanted to be saved. My unsaved mom led me to the Lord, repeating what she had heard in club each week. Soon after that Mom was saved too. Today there are about 15 different family members in some form of Christian ministry—pastor, missionary, etc.

When I was only three, I was led to the Lord by my brother who’d been trained in a Teaching Children Effectively courseTM. A couple of years later I started going to 5-Day Club® and Good News Club® then attended Christian Youth in Action® (CYIATM) and began teaching at age 12. After six fruitful years of summer ministry as a student and one as staff, I was excited to be called into the ministry full time and be following God’s path for my life.

I started to attend Good News Club® in Sioux City, Iowa when I was about four years old. My older brother went, and I liked to go along. I so clearly remember our teacher, dear Mrs. Dora Lock and her helper Betty Ritchie. She had GNC® in the basement of her home. I remember the day she had the lesson on the crucifixion like it was yesterday. She talked about how Jesus died to pay the price for our sins and all we had to do was believe on Him and accept His free gift. I was ready to accept him that day! I attended for several years and the Scripture that I memorized and the songs we sang have stuck with me to this day. I am forever grateful for my time spent in GNC and am loving being part of it again.
