Child Evangelism Fellowship, Inc. seeks to uphold the highest moral and ethical standard possible in reaching children with the gospel. This standard applies personally to all believers as we live, work, and serve before others and, most importantly, before God. Because of the world in which we live and seek to serve, it is imperative to take all steps possible to protect both the children to whom we minister and ourselves from false accusations. In accordance with the CEF Child Protection Policy, allstaff and volunteers are required to undergo a series of initial and periodically renewed screenings including a national criminal background check. For interpersonal, team, and program coherence as well as further safety and general unity, certain trainings (online or in person) may also be required to begin your volunteer role(s).
Please see the instructions below to find the appropriate category for you. If you have any issues completing or submitting any of the forms, etc., please contact our local office for assistance. Thank you for your willingness to serve!
Note: Because the safety of children and children’s ministry workers is of such importance, CEF of Evansville offers Background Check Screenings at no cost to volunteers to help ensure all ministry participants are always adequately protected. While we are happy to provide this service, there is a cost incurred by the local chapter to do so (around $5 per person). If you would like to help cover this cost for your background check, and/or perhaps be a blessing toward that cost for another volunteer, visit the “Give” page HERE to donate now.
