Reaching Chicagoland's Children
CEF Chicago is part of Child Evangelism Fellowship, the world's largest children's evangelism organization. We share the Gospel with boys and girls across the Chicagoland area and connect them with local Bible-believing churches.
Lives Changed Through CEF
“When I was four years old, I went to a Good News Club in my neighborhood. It was there that I heard the gospel and accepted Jesus Christ as my savior. CEF has been foundational in my walk with the Lord from a young age.”
— Karen
