WHO WE ARE
CEF Emerald Coast Florida is a local chapter of Child Evangelism Fellowship, 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.
CEF Emerald Coast is a chapter of Child Evangelism Fellowship of Florida that serves the counties of Escambia, Santa Rosa, Okaloosa, Walton.
With more than 3,000 workers in nearly every country around the world, CEF had personal, individual ministry with more than 29 million children in 2023. God blessed the ministry in 2023 with 8.8 million professions of faith.
Over the past 87 years God has given CEF a number of unique ministries which have proven to be effective tools in our effort to evangelize and disciple children.

WHAT WE DO
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 a variety of places including, but not limited to: schools, daycares, community centers, military installations, and churches. These fast-paced, 60-90 minute programs are designed to bring the Gospel of Christ to children on their level in their environment.
HOW WE DO IT
TRAIN
Child Evangelism Fellowship is committed to training and developing volunteers on how to conduct effective and meaningful ministry to children. CEF Emerald Coast offers extensive training to prepare volunteers to serve in the Good News Clubs. (More information on this is available on our "Get Involved" page.)
We train and prepare students to serve in local missions through our Christian Youth in Action program. Our statewide and national locations also offer online and regional training classes for those desiring to dive deep into children's ministry.
EQUIP
Once training is complete, our partners aren't left empty-handed. CEF equips each team with the needed materials to sponsor an after-school program. The materials include Bible Lessons, Song Music Videos, Small Group Activities, Game Resources, and colorful visuals (digital and print). Resources for children are also provided to assist them in furthering their walk with the Lord. In addition to the curriculum, CEF provides our partners with practical materials for the organization and administration of the program.
ASSIST
Ministry should never be done alone. Each partner is assigned a Ministry Coordinator that will walk alongside them as the church impacts their community. Regular communication, site visits, and leadership meetings occur throughout the year to ensure each outreach is supported and well cared for. CEF's staff assists in onboarding new volunteers and handling the relationship between the church and CEF.
SUPPORT
Child Evangelism Fellowship is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization. Our organization is not funded through Government grants or federal funds. Funds are raised by the local chapter and are provided through Christian individuals, businesses, and churches who believe in our mission, seeking to partner with us as we reach the community.
