  • CEF® Ministry Compliance Agreement

    CEF® Ministry Compliance Agreement

    Child Evangelism Fellowship

  • Doctrinal Protection Policy - Adopted by CEF International Board of Trustees, May 6, 2002

    Child Evangelism Fellowship® continues in its commitment to its Statement of Faith, which embodies the non-negotiable and historic beliefs of evangelical Christians.

    Within the community of evangelical believers various distinctives exist which do not prevent our fellowship in the Lord and our effectiveness as child evangelists.

    We therefore resolve that CEF® workers are qualified by their unreserved commitment to CEF's Statement of Faith and their further commitment in all CEF activities to refrain from teaching or otherwise advocating doctrinal distinctives either contrary to or in addition to the Statement of Faith.

    Recognizing the spiritual need of boys and girls in our community and around the world, I would like to assist in the work of Child Evangelism Fellowship (CEF).

    I understand that CEF is without specific denominational affiliation and have read the Statement of Faith and CEF Doctrinal Protection Policy. In becoming a coworker with CEF, and in order to protect the ministry, I agree not to propagate or practice in CEF ministries any distinctive or controversial doctrines, methods and practices that would go beyond the CEF Statement of Faith and the approved CEF curriculum. These would include but not be limited to such things as modes of baptism, speaking in tongues, interpretation of Scripture by experience, healing on demand, etc. I understand that anyone who does not adhere to this agreement cannot serve with CEF as paid staff or volunteer.

    In teaching Bible lessons in core CEF programs I will use exclusively materials approved by CEF.

    In offering my services I trust the Lord to make me a faithful servant, and should problems arise between CEF and me that cannot be fully reconciled, I will quietly withdraw to preserve the harmony essential to having an effective Christian witness.

    By signing below, I indicate:

    • My agreement with the Statement of Faith, and that
    • I will abide by the above Ministry Compliance Agreement, and that
    • I will abide by the policies of CEF as long as I am actively involved.

    (Only applicable in the USA):

    • I have reviewed the Protecting Today's Child presentation (866-878-4182 or cefonline.com/childprotection) in the last 12 months.

    If you have a question about a specific policy or to see a complete copy of all policies, contact your director.

  • 0/910
  • 0/910
  • Do you believe the Bible is trustworthy?*
  • 0/910
  • Do you regularly attend church?*
  • Do you presently serve in some capacity at church?*
  • 0/260
  • Have you been attending the previously mentioned church for less than 5 years?*

  • Please list up to the last three previous churches you regularly attended during this timeframe:

  • Do you believe that any sexual relations before or outside of marriage is O.K.?
  • I understand that believers from many church congregations will be serving with CEF® who may hold divergent views on peripheral church doctrines and therefore, agree to focus my teaching and discussion to the basics of the faith.*
  • I will follow all CEF® policies and guidelines.*
  • I will participate in local CEF® training when it is offered for the area of ministry I am serving in to the extent I am available.*

  • Biblical Sexuality:

    As outlined in our Statement of Faith, "We believe that 'All Scripture is given by inspiration of God,'" by which we understand "All Scripture" to be a reference to the whole book called "THE BIBLE; that it is inerrant in the original writing and that its teaching and authority are absolute, supreme and final." The Bible speaks to issues of human relations, including those involving sexual morality, and is our ultimate rule of faith and practice.  Within the context we ask that you affirm your agreement with the following statements.

  • Gender is genetically encoded by God prior to birth.*
  • It is a violation of God's creative order to attempt to modify or transform human gender.*
  • Because of the immutable nature of gender, participation in any program or activity of CEF® that is limited to individuals of one sex is exclusively limited to individuals who are persons of that sex at the time of their birth. Access to facilities that are designated for use by only one sex is likewise exclusively limited to individuals who are persons of that sex.*
  • Sexual expression is reserved for heterosexual marital unions and insists on abstinence for the unmarried. All other forms of sexual conduct are inconsistent with the teaching of Scripture.*
  • As a CEF® volunteer I will abstain from engaging in or publicly supporting unbiblical sexual practices or unbiblical marital unions.*

  • Tattoo Policy:

  • Do you currently have or plan to get a tattoo?*
  • I understand that I will be required to keep covered any tattoo that could be deemed to be morally objectionable and, I recognize that the following, while not a comprehensive list, represents some examples of tattoos that will be deemed objectionable: Images that depict nudity, sexual innuendos, drugs, alcohol, demonic images, gang affiliation and profanity.*
