Church Partnership
CEF of Collier partners with churches as we seek together to accomplish the Great Commission. Good News Clubs are generally held in local elementary schools, which have become one of the greatest mission fields of our generation.
Good News Club is not meant to replace a church’s children’s ministry—it is meant to extend it. It gives churches the opportunity to build relationships with children and families who may never otherwise enter a church building. Through this ministry, we have seen children come to Christ, families begin attending church, and volunteers grow in leadership and spiritual maturity.
This partnership provides an opportunity for your church to reach the children and families of your community right where they are—the public schools! This extension of your children’s ministry is achieved through the below opportunities.
Good News Clubs: Is a once a week after-school program. Children meet for 1½ hours in an engaging environment filled with interactive Bible lessons, games, songs, and Scripture memory taught by volunteers from your church that are trained and equipped through Child Evangelism Fellowship®. Child Evangelism Fellowship provides the curriculum materials, legal resources, volunteer training and support. Learn more about Good News Clubs by clicking here.
5-Day Clubs: a VBS-like summer ministry for kids. These 5-Day Clubs can take place at churches, parks, front yards, summer camps, etc.. Learn more about our summer ministry by clicking here.
Christian Youth In Action: CYIA is a is a short term local missions trip for students ages 12 to 22. Students who enroll will attend a one-week in-depth training with students from all over Florida.

Testimony
Two siblings attended Good News Club faithfully for several years. As they shared at home what they were learning about Jesus, their parents became curious and began attending church. Not Long after, the entire family chose to be water baptized together- a powerful reminder that when we reach a child, we often reach a family.
This year (2026) in Collier County through the ministry of Good News Clubs reached over 500 child with the Gospel message, with 68 professions of faith and 18 children are now attending a local church.
