Afterschool Good News Club Program
Your church can adopt a local school through CEF’s Good News Club program. Evangelize and disciple children, introduce them– their entire family–to your church. This can be a tremendous outreach as members of your church volunteer as teachers, helpers and prayer partners. Serving together as Sisters and Brothers in Christ reaching the lost in the Northern Virginia Area!
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 2001 in Good News Clubs v. Milford Central School that Good News Clubs can meet in public school after school hours on the same terms as other community groups. CEF respects the parents' right to decide if their child should attend CEF events held on school property. Therefore, signed parental permission is required for attendance. Please tab 2001 Supreme Court Ruling if you want to learn in detail.
