CEF takes seriously our responsibility to protect the children we serve, the volunteers who serve the children, our partnering churches and the good name of Jesus Christ.

Thank you for deciding to volunteer with Child Evangelism Fellowship. We are excited about what God will do as churches all across the nation share the Gospel with unchurched children in their communities. Important considerations for all who will volunteer with direct child contact through CEF ministries:

   ·   CEF online background checks & volunteer applications utilize a secure server so personal data is safe.

   ·   All volunteers (18 & older) & CEF missionaries are required to have a national criminal background check.

   ·   All approved workers will receive a required nametag upon completion of steps 1-3.

   ·   You will need to go online to complete the screening process. CEF will pay your screening fee.
