There are over 800 Public Elementary Schools in Maryland with 378,000+ children attending. It is our goal that each child in Maryland has the opportunity to hear and respond to the Gospel and truths of the Word of God. Right now we are focusing on the school clubs. Clubs can be held in neighborhoods, housing developments, churches, as well as day-cares.
What is a Good News Club®?
Good News Clubs® are a time when children can learn more from the Bible. It is an exciting fun-filled hour held once a week in the school following the school day or wherever children can be gathered. The hour includes Bible Lessons, learning activities, inspiring missionary stories, meaningful songs and life-changing Scripture memory.
Who teaches a Good News Club®?
Christians who are concerned for boys and girls work together volunteering their time and energy to teach Good News Clubs®. They are trained by Child Evangelism Fellowship® to have a club that is exciting and informative so that children will want to keep coming. Teachers and helpers are asked to sign the CEF® Statement of Faith and agree to abide by the policies of the organization. Adults working with the program are screened according to our child protection policy
What is taught?
CEF® has a five-year curriculum prepared to teach the children in the Good News Club®. Right now, we are teaching “First Christians” and this will be followed by “Paul, God’s Servant”.

From Mat Staver, President, Liberty Counsel -- I have encountered parents and principals who don't necessarily consider themselves to be religious but who strongly endorse the Good News Clubs®. The reason is they've seen the positive results in the lives of children who attend these clubs. I believe every church in America ought to adopt a local public elementary school in order to ensure that a Good News Club® is operating on each elementary school campus. For the first time in our life, we have the opportunity to teach character and moral development---to teach purpose and meaning to someone who has a meaningless existence….It is, in our lifetime, an opportunity that we don't know how long it will last."
Would God want you to help teach the children?
