Welcome Volunteers
Thank you for responding to the call to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with the boys and girls of our community.
In today’s society child abuse and child accusations occur almost daily. Therefore, it is imperative Child Evangelism Fellowship take steps to protect the children to whom we minister and protect our volunteers from false accusations. In accordance with the Child Protection Policy of Child Evangelism Fellowship Inc., all volunteers and paid staff are required to complete the volunteer application process which includes a national criminal background check.
Please follow the steps under your corresponding volunteer category below.
*CEF of Southeast Indiana provides background checks at no charge to volunteers. However, there is a cost to CEF for the screening. If you are able, would you consider a donation of $5 or more to help pay for screenings? Please do not feel obligated. To make a donation click, "DONATE” on the upper right-hand side of the screen.
