CEF Santa Barbara

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!

(This cake was made by one of our La Honda Good News Club volunteers).

Our Christmas Party Clubs shared the truth and love of God with public school children through the most fun stories, games, and crafts!

Savannah and Isabella are thankful when their horse escorts them home from Good News Club!

From delicious food to excellent training, CEF fully prepares our volunteers to Minister to the children in our schools and community. See captions for details.

This Giving Tuesday, we invite you to partner with child Evangelism Fellowship South Santa Barbara County in reaching the next generation with the hope of the gospel of Christ. Every gift helps multiply the impact and ensures more children hear the life-changing message of Jesus. To contribute to this mission, please visit cefsantabarbara.org/donate. Thank you!

The CEF Board and staff are grateful for your support of our mission to bring the message of eternal life through Jesus to the children in our public schools and communities. We wish you a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Today is 2025 Day of World Prayer! Please join us in praying for our CEF Christmas Party clubs, which will share the message of eternal life with thousands of children worldwide. Commit to praying for these clubs for 50 days at https://www.cefonline.com/50daysofprayer/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=ctct and you will receive daily prayer requests in your inbox until December 24.

We also highly appreciate your prayers for our CEF clubs in Santa Barbara, Goleta, Solvang and Lompoc. Visit cefsantabarbara.org/prayer.

Through prayer, amazing miracles are possible!
