CEF® NorCal Central Valley North’s Ministry Programs

Child Evangelism Fellowship® of Northern California (CEF® NorCal) is committed to reaching children for Christ! The Central Valley North Chapter serves San Joaquin, Stanislaus, Merced, Calaveras, Tuolumne, Mariposa, Alpine, and Mono Counties. We motivate, train, equip, and support churches and Christian volunteers to evangelize boys and girls with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, disciple them in the Word of God, and establish them in a local church for Christian living.

Our ministry programs include Good News Club®, a one-hour Bible club that meets in homes, schools, and community centers for about an hour. When the Supreme Court clarified access to all public schools in 2001, most of these clubs meet weekly after school hours in public elementary schools across our area. If you have a burden for children to know who Jesus is and what He did for them, please reach out to learn more. Contact us with questions or submit an online application to Become A Volunteer and begin the screening process.

CEF NorCal Central Valley North enjoys God’s bountiful riches through Dairies, Orchards, and farm lands, several cities and rural towns here in our valley and foothills. But most of all, we enjoy reaching our precious boys and girls through Good News Clubs® and 5 Day Clubs®. Our vision is reaching every boy and girl with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, working alongside of our many evangelical churches and born again believers throughout Stanislaus, Tuolumne, Merced, Mariposa, San Joaquin, Calaveras, Mono, and Alpine Counties all for the Glory of God.

Radio Waves

As I drive around our area, I like to turn on the radio and listen to some good Christian music. Most of the time I tune in to 101.5 (KAMB) because of their non-stop playlist of good Christian music. On a recent drive (a round

Worker's Compliance Agreement

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, alteration of the Gospel message, 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.
