About

Child Evangelism Fellowship of the Empire State is a children’s ministry reaching children in New York State.

Child Evangelism Fellowship® is a Bible-centered organization composed of born-again believers whose purpose is to evangelize boys and girls with the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ and to establish (disciple) them in the Word of God and in a local church for Christian living. We believe the light of God’s Word needs to be given to everyone, children included.

CEF® has many different ministries for children, but the primary ones are the Good News Club® and the 5-Day Club®.
The Good News Club and 5-Day Club ministries take place in neighborhood settings such as homes, backyards, schools and community centers all over the world. These fast-paced, one-hour programs are designed to bring the Gospel of Christ to children on their level in their environment.

Along with these clubs, CEF also has fair, camping, open-air, and internet ministries for children. Last year through these combined ministries over 19.5 million children worldwide heard the Good News.

CEF provides classes to train their workers and other Christians who are burdened for evangelizing children.
In fact, training Christians to effectively minister to children has been core to our ministry since it was founded in 1937. Training is offered throughout the USA and around the world through seminars, conferences, and formal courses.

CEF® has three purposes in its ministry to children:
  • Evangelism: Teach children about God’s love and plan for their lives.
  • Discipleship: Teach children to grow in the Christian life.
  • Establish them in a local church.

The ministry to children of each local CEF chapter is varied and relies on the support of local Christians! As you learn more about your local CEF chapter, you will see how it can serve you and how you can serve with it.

CEF International is the ‘parent’ organization of local CEF chapters. You can visit their site to discover more resources and opportunities for children’s ministry. Excellent online training programs for children’s ministry are available, some free, some with a cost.
