CEF Santa Barbara

Many thanks to our new and continuing volunteers for bringing the love and message of Jesus to the children in our public schools. We could not do it without you!

CEF South Santa Barbara County Chapter had a fantastic fun time with the children at our LEGO Camp in Carpinteria! 🧱🎉

The week was filled with creativity, laughter, teamwork, and plenty of amazing LEGO creations. Most importantly, the children learned about God's love and discovered how they can build their lives on a strong foundation of faith in Jesus Christ! ❤️✝️

We are so thankful for all of our wonderful volunteers who helped make the week such a success, and for every family who shared their children with us.

We loved seeing the smiles, hearing the laughter, and watching friendships grow. We can't wait to see everyone again at our next children's event!

"Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom.” - 2 Corinthians 3:17.

Happy Independence Day from all of us at CEF Santa Barbara!

Your children are invited to attend our CEF morning 5-day clubs from July 13th to 17th either in Carpinteria or Lompoc! Each Club will feature engaging Bible lessons, stories, games, music, and.... LEGOs!

What a beautiful evening as we came together to share the ministry programs and vision, all while raising funds for the Good News Clubs and our other outreach programs. We were greatly honored to have William Federer, a nationally known speaker, author, and historian, as our guest speaker.

Happy Mother's Day from all of us at CEF!

He is risen indeed! Happy Easter from all of us at CEF.

Please join us for our upcoming Spring Banquet on Thursday, May 7th, 2026. Enjoy a delicious dinner while hearing from keynote speaker William Federer and learning how the Lord is bringing the gospel to children on public school campuses in our local communities.

To register for the spring banquet, please visit cefsantabarbara.org/spring-dinner.

At CEF, our mission is to evangelize boys and girls with the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, disciple them in the Word of God, and establish them in a local church for Christian living.

As we approach the final days of 2025, many of us are thinking about year-end giving and the opportunity to support ministries close to our hearts. If the Lord leads you, I hope you'll prayerfully consider a tax deductible donation to CEF South Santa Barbara County. Your partnership helps us train volunteers, equip churches, and reach even more children who desperately need to hear about the hope found only in Christ.

To donate, visit cefsantabarbara.org/donate. Thank you!

On behalf of the CEF Board, staff, and volunteers... Merry Christmas to you and your family! May you feel the love of Jesus at this special time, and always!
