Good News Club® is a ministry of Child Evangelism Fellowship

Trained volunteer teachers meet with groups of children (ages 5-11) in schools, homes, community centers, churches, apartment complexes, just about anywhere the children can easily and safely meet, with their parent’s permission. Each week the teacher presents an exciting Bible lesson using colorful materials from CEF Press. This action-packed time also includes songs, Scripture memory, a missions story as well as review games or other activities focused on the lesson’s theme.

As with all CEF ministries, the purpose of Good News Club is to evangelize boys and girls with the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ and establish (disciple) them in the Word of God and encourage their involvement in a local church.

Can We Really Teach the Bible in Public Schools?

Yes! The Gospel can be taught freely in public schools in the United States! In 2001 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Good News Clubs v. Milford Central School that Good News Clubs can meet in public schools in the United States after school hours on the same terms as other community groups. Children attend Good News Club only with their parents’ permission.

What can Good News Club Do For My Neighborhood?

When you teach God’s Word to children in your neighborhood, your neighbors learn what you believe. A Good News Club can identify a home in the neighborhood that is safe for a child to go to in times of trouble. It brings the teaching of biblical morality to your neighborhood and connects families to others, developing a good community spirit.  Community centers and housing complexes are also great places for a club.

What Is Taught in Good News Club?

Each week an exciting Bible lesson using colorful materials from CEF Press is presented. This action-packed time also includes songs, Scripture memory, a missions story and review games or other activities focused on the lesson’s theme.

Each club includes a clear presentation of the Gospel and an opportunity for children to trust the Lord Jesus as Savior. Every club also includes strong discipleship training to build character and facilitate moral and spiritual growth. All children are encouraged to attend a local church.

Who Teaches a Good News Club?

Christians who are concerned for boys and girls work together volunteering their time and energy to teach Good News Club. They are trained by Child Evangelism Fellowship to have a club that is exciting and informative so that children will want to keep coming. Teachers are asked to sign the CEF Statement of Faith and agree to abide by the policies of the organization. Adults working with the program are screened according to our child protection policy.
