Serving children with care
Child Protection Policy
The CEF® Ventura County chapter is here to train, equip and encourage you as you follow God's leading in making an eternal difference in the lives of the children in our community.
In today’s society child abuse and child accusations are occurring daily. Therefore it is important that Child Evangelism Fellowship® take steps to protect the children to whom we minister and protect our workers from false accusations.
