Good News Club® Network
Helping
churches reach kids for Christ
CEF of Britain has developed the Good News Club Network as a means to serve and support local evangelical churches in their efforts to reach children for Christ. Clubs are usually held weekly, but may also be bi-weekly or monthly. Some of these outreach clubs function under the title "Good News Club", others have a name chosen by the local church. Venues vary from church premises to local schools or community halls. There is a dedicated "Network" section on our website with help and ideas exclusively for churches that are part of the Good News Cub Network.
What does CEF provide?
CEF
provides free on-going training, ideas and advice - when requested.- CEF provides the yearly core teaching programme (leaving room for flexibility) and makes the teaching materials available for purchase. You can download a sample of our lesson materials from the "Samples" page.
- Once a year CEF will make a free booklet available for each child in clubs affiliated to the Network e.g. a daily devotional or evangelistic booklet.
- CEF provides free extra online resources for teachers of clubs affiliated to the Network.
- When there are several Good News Club Network outreaches in an area, CEF can help organise an annual special event for the children.
What are the responsibilities of the local church?
- The club is an outreach of the local church and is under its leadership.
- The church is responsible for child protection policy and relevant checks.
- The church provides the teachers and helpers, prays for the club and buys the teaching materials.
- The church endeavours to build strong links with the children and their families.
