Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit

Matthew 28:19
 

Every Child. Every Nation. Every Day.

Come Walk for Jesus!


We are excited for our second Go & Tell 5K! As one of only TWO fundraisers that we do all year, we are raising funds for critical summer ministry: training teens through CYIA, 5-Day and Party Clubs, and other special events. For example, this year, with parts of the 2026 FIFA World Cup being held our area, we are planning many SOCCER outreaches!


We are praying for 30 MORE PARTICIPANTS, and that the Lord will provide $15,000!


April 25th, 10:00am-12:00pm


We are walking along the Monterey Coastal Trail, starting at First Baptist Church of Monterey and turning around at Lover’s Point Park.

New Clubs and Outreach Praise!

Hollister Club started

We are so excited that our first Good News Club started in Hollister last week, at Spring Grove Elementary! Please keep this brand new club in your prayers: for the team, our relationship with the school, and the children who are hearing the Gospel.

Easter Outreaches

Join us in praising God for the 137 children that heard the gospel this Easter through our Easter outreaches! And an extra praise that 48 made a first time profession of faith!

Each child is precious and we know that your partnership in this ministry is being used by God to bring many unto Himself. Thank you for joining with us in what God is doing!
 

Christian Youth In Action (CYIA) Camp


Are the teens in your life ready to share the gospel with their friends, neighbors, or family? Are they equipped to teach in youth group or church? Are they being entrusted with the work of the kingdom?


CYIA Camp prepares your teens for this! I cannot fully express how incredible this ministry is! I have seen, first hand, how God uses the training, equipping, and support of CYIA to completely transform a teen's life, and their walk with God.



Thanks to gifts given at our 2025 Vision Dinner, we are able to help any teen with their missionary support for CYIA camp with partial scholarships.


When: June 7-12

Where: Christian Encounter Ranch, Grass Valley, CA

Cost: $500 (scholarships available)

Application Deadline: May 1st

Volunteer Open House

It's that time of year again! To celebrate our incredible volunteers at the end of this school year, it's time for our Volunteer Appreciation Party! This year, we will be hosting it Open House style, so extraverts can stay and socialize as long as they want, and the more quietly observant of us can make our exit when WE want! :)

Volunteers are welcome to stop by the CEF office for snacks, fellowship, and a special thank you gift. You are the hands and feet of Christ here on the Central Coast, and we are so thankful for all you do!

When: Wednesday May 13

Time: 11:30-1:30pm

Where: Central Coast Office- 1020 Merrill St. STE 2002, Salinas

Volunteer Paperwork

Service Opportunities:


We currently have 4 open opportunities for those who would like to serve the mission of CEF here on the Central Coast!


Board Members- With the departure of a board member due to family needs, our chapter is out of CEF compliance for number of board members; this is an urgent need! We are praying for 3 more Board Members, ideally from Santa Cruz or San Benito counties to help us expand our network and witness in these regions. Board commitment is 2 hours a month.


Vision Dinner Committee- We are looking for 5 members of our Vision Dinner committee; this is a 6 month commitment to serve for an hour or two a week to help us host our primary fundraiser of the year.


Summer Ministry Volunteers- With summer approaching we need seasonal volunteers to serve with our outreaches. You can serve once this summer, (like on the 4th of July) or for a week at our 5-Day clubs.


New Good News Club Volunteers- We aim to launch more good news clubs this fall- and we would love to train you to take part!


We are hosting regular trainings for all our service opportunites. Contact Keri for more information, or get started by filling out our volunteer paperwork today!
 

Nothing will stop God from reaching His children with the Gospel!

Join us in praising Him for what He has done and praying for the ministry to continue to grow.
