Outreach Ministries & Events at Local Fairs and Festivals
Opportunities are Open to Serve each summer at the Orange County Fair in Costa Mesa during July and August
Community outreaches have been a part of the history and vision of CEF® since its founding. One-time evangelism events or special community events are a fantastic method to bring the Gospel to children and families in a fun and interactive way. Whether it is a County Fair booth, special community event, holiday celebration, children’s worship music event, or Wordless Book presentation, the gospel message of Salvation is shared with compassion and enthusiasm. We see hundreds of men, women, teens, and children make 1st time decisions to follow Jesus at these events. This summer, we reached over 2,700 people with the gospel, with over 580 making professions of faith!
Events are held in partnership with local churches or independently through CEF® Orange Coast Chapter. Click here to host an event or get involved!
Military Children’s Ministry
Good News Clubs and other club ministries held in a home or school in a military neighborhood on base provide stability and life-changing truth. CEF® Orange Coast Chapter serves children and families who are military-connected by teachers and volunteers who are military-connected themselves.
