Our Vision

CEF® of Montana exists to evangelize boys and girls, to disciple them in the Word of God, and establish them in the local church.

Why Children?

Statistics show that 70-80% of those who receive Jesus as savior do so in 4-14 age group. If you had a business and could identify the people group that would give you the most success, where would you focus your attention?

Our History

CEF® was founded by Jesse Irvin Overholtzer in 1937. The ministry has grown into the largest evangelistic outreach to children in the world. CEF is currently ministering in countries around the world and in every state in the U.S.

Statement of Faith

CEF® of Montana is a Bible-centered, interdenominational ministry, composed of born-again believers whose purpose and mission are 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 Bible-believing church for Christian living.

“I have been a part of several VBS’s in my lifetime and none of them have compared to the one you all put on! The way the leaders are trained and able to focus on the kids really frees up our church to focus on loving the kids and getting to know them.”
