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.
