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 (WCA) Form online
Step 2: 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. The cost is $25 per person. Use the below button to make your payment online. Upon completion, please send your Driver License/Photo ID to our office admin via email [email protected] for assistance with your appointment booking. Please do not just go to a local office to do your own LiveScan. The result won't be able to reach CEF State Office. After our phone call, you will receive a Pre-Paid QR Code, which you will need to show the agent at your pre-scheduled appointment.
Step 3: Register and attend a one-time, 6-hour Super Seminar session. The cost is $20 per person. Payment can also be made online, or paid at the door.
Additional Notes
For existing volunteer, LiveScan and super seminar training are required once Every Five (5) Years. Worker's Compliance Agreement (WCA) Form is signed every year. If you have been inactive for one full calendar year, please follow the new volunteer screening procedures.
