Ministries

CEF OF Columbus

Good News Clubs

These are weekly clubs with screened and trained CEF teachers meeting with children in schools after school hours. Activities include Bible stories and songs for evangelism and Christian living, missions stories, games, and snacks.

5-Day Clubs

Placed right in their neighborhoods, a 5-Day Club is easy for children to access on their summer break. In schools, community centers, parks, churches, and neighborhood homes, teachers who are screened, trained, and equipped lead action-packed 5-Day Clubs for one solid week, delivering the timeless truths of the Bible in exciting, engaging ways. Children learn the Gospel, and many come to know Jesus as their Savior.

This a meeting with children that has the same activities as a Good News Club, except it is typically held in the summer in a home or a church for 5 consecutive days.

Fair Ministry

This is a wonderful opportunity to minister with the children we do not see during the other ministries. Our chapter is at a few county fairs and festivals, as well as other events throughout the summer.

Christian Youth In Action

Christian Youth in Action (CYIA) prepares young people to become active members in the Body of Christ. CYIA is a 7-day training held at the beautiful Mount Vernon Nazarene University in Mount Vernon, OH, and is conducted by CEF staff from all over Ohio. the training will prepare you to conduct 5-Day Clubs in local neighborhoods during the summer months. Additional Pre-Training is conducted in the local area prior to this week long training.

Christmas Across America

Christmas Across Ohio provides the means to celebrate one of the most amazing events in all of history—the birth of Jesus! How will this benefit my church? Most children are not regularly going to a church where they are hearing the Gospel.
