Reaching children with the Gospel since 1937.

We are the Orange Coast Chapter of Child Evangelism Fellowship®, serving our local community within the largest international children’s ministry in the world.

Our purpose is to evangelize boys and girls with the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, disciple them in the Word of God, and establish them in a local church for Christian living.

 Welcome to your Local Chapter of Child Evangelism Fellowship®, serving South Orange County from Costa Mesa to San Clemente, California.

Bring a Good News Club or a JYC Club to your Local Elementary or Middle School, or serve at a Club that is already established in your area.

If you are interested in finding out more about how you can serve and reach children through the ministry of CEF with the life changing gospel of Jesus, then plan to attend our next New Volunteer Training Meeting to better equip you to lead children and teens in knowing and serving Christ. Meetings are held via Zoom and/or in person.

(See Events Section for detailed information on upcoming Enrichment Meetings and Training Dates.)

Neighborhood Ministries with a Global Reach.

Ministry Statistics

In 2023, 25.2 million children were reached face-to-face in the United States and around the world, and that number jumps to nearly 30 million when including our digital and print ministries.  Through reaching those children with the good news of Jesus, we are thrilled to report that 8.8 million children made 1st time professions of faith! Praise God! 

84,244 Good News Clubs were held worldwide. Good News Clubs are definitely the heartbeat of CEF.

Evangelism and Discipleship Ministries

Our direct ministries to children include Good News Club®, Jesus You Connection® (JYC), Summer 5-Day Clubs®, and Christmas and One-Day Party Clubs, held in neighborhood parks, school campuses after school, community centers, churches, and more. We also reach children and families through community events and local fairs.

Church and Community Partnership

An essential part of our purpose is to establish children in the local church. By partnering with churches, we serve together to bring Gospel and discipleship ministries to children on a broader scale and equip members to cultivate an evangelistic, missions mindset to engage with our local communities.

Endeavoring to fulfill Christ’s great commission, we partner to hold special outreach events throughout the year, provide robust trainings for volunteers and ministry workers, and have a rich ministry library of CEF® Press resources and curriculum for ministry workers, families, and church children’s ministries.

 

Every Child, Every Nation, Every Day

Together we can Change the Future!

It all began with a vision to reach every child, every nation, every day. See how Child Evangelism Fellowship® is being used by God through volunteers and missionaries to impact children and families in our local communities around the world.
