Child Evangelism Fellowship^®, founded in 1937, is the world’s largest Bible-centered mission organization to children. It is composed of born-again believers whose purpose is to Evangelize to 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.

In 2001, the United States Supreme Court affirmed the right of Good News Clubs to have equal access to public schools as any other non-curricular activity. This ruling allows CEF to establish biblically based clubs, called Good News Clubs, in public schools. Most of these Clubs take place immediately after school, but can be scheduled during the day or before school. You can learn more by clicking HERE.
