Our Focus Is On Children And Church Ministries
Child Evangelism Fellowship (CEF) of Virginia is a church-assist organization focused on evangelizing and teaching children ages 4-14. Simply stated, CEF Virginia trains ministry teams who volunteer to conduct evangelistic events usually outside the church walls. Child Evangelism Fellowship of Virginia serves churches and individuals by equipping them to fulfill the great commission. We help them to be an ambassador for Christ, equipping them to reconcile the lost with the message of the gospel.
CEF Virginia serves all of the state chapters throughout Virginia. We have several different ministries for children such as the Good News Club, 5-Day Club and CYIA. We host several events through these ministries thereby serving the churches with proven children’s ministry training, materials and methods. This in turn allows us to lead the chapter communities in evangelizing children . Please contact us today to find out more.

Our History
Child Evangelism Fellowship was founded in 1937 by Rev. J. Irvin Overholtzer, a man with a God given vision for boys and girls in need of the Savior. His vision continues to live on today.
CEF reaches the children with the Gospel so that “not one of these little ones should perish.” (Matthew 18:14)
CEF is presently involved in over 170 countries, with over 1,400 staff members. Our emphasis overseas is to develop national workers and leaders. CEF is active in every state and province in North America.
