about all that God is going to do as churches all across the nation share the Gospel with
unchurched children in their communities. Following are some important considerations
for all who will volunteer and have direct contact with the children through CEF ministries.

  • CEF does online background checks and volunteer applications utilizing a secure server so that your information is safe.
  • All volunteers (age 18 and older) and CEF missionaries are required to undergo a national criminal background check.
