Volunteer
If you have a passion to serve Jesus Christ and children in your community, then we have a place for you!
We never get our vision off of the children, and we are some of the few people that quietly labor to build the fence when there's lots of people building the clinic.
We will train you and equip you with everything you need. There is a mission field right in your backyard and on the schoolyards in your local elementary and middle schools, and we want to equip you with the skills and resources to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with the children and families in your community.
Ready to Volunteer with CEF Ministry?
If God is speaking to you and leading you to partner with us in this ministry, here is how to get started:
Step 1: Read & sign a Worker's Compliance Agreement
Step 2: Follow the Volunteer Application & Screening Instructions and complete the required Background Check online.
[Screening on applicants are required for all volunteers involving CEF Ministries. The process is to help CEF provide a safe and secure environment for children and adults alike. The cost is $15 per applicant. Be sure not to skip any field even if it says "Skip for 5-year rescreening"]
Step 3: Effective January 1st, 2022 California AB506 requires all volunteers who interact with children for more than 16 hours a month or 32 hours a year to be fingerprinted/livescanned.
Contact our Office Admin today for a non-transferable Payment Code specifically assigned to you before booking an appointment at a CEF designated LiveScan facility. The cost is $25 per person.
Step 4: Register and attend a one-time, 6-hour Super Seminar session.
Step 5: Your Team Lader will conduct a Personal Interview & ID Check with you prior to serving and a copy of the ID will need to be emailed to our chapter office admin.
