Frequently Asked Questions

What is Child Evangelism Fellowship?

Child Evangelism Fellowship (or CEF) 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.

What qualifies CEF to train workers?

For over 80 years God has been using Child Evangelism Fellowship to bring the love of Jesus Christ to children around the world. With workers in almost every country, CEF operates as the largest ministry to children in the world. Last year alone, more than 390,000 trained CEF workers around the world reached more than 25 million children with the Good News of Jesus Christ.

Who is the conference designed for?

The Children's Ministry Conference is a one-day training event for those involved in children's ministry of any type.

Children's ministry workers, Sunday school teachers, VBS leaders, day care workers, parents, and Good News Club volunteers will discover valuable methods to help them present the Gospel effectively to children, keep kids engaged, and help them grow as disciples of Jesus Christ.

Is this just a big infomercial to push CEF curriculum?

Nope! You don’t need to use CEF curriculum or resources to attend. CEF's goal is not to train how to teach a curriculum, but how to train teachers! This means that through training, you can effectively and clearly present the Gospel using any curriculum... or no curriculum!

What does the registration fee cover?

The registration fee provides you with weekend access to all the conference classes as well as class notes and resources to use in your ministry.

I've already been trained by CEF. Why should I attend?

No matter what qualifications you have, there is always more to learn when we are talking about teaching the Bible, the depths of the Gospel, and discipleship. As a believer and disciple of Christ, we strongly encourage you to take additional training and classes provided by CEF so that you can be better equipped, can help those you are serving alongside, and so that you will grow in your spiritual walk. All of this training is ultimately discipleship training because it is focused and centered on the Gospel, spiritual growth, and the work of God.
