What we aim to solve

SOURCE: Self-reported by organization

It is estimated that less than 30% of South Carolina's children regularly attend church. Children are facing moral crisis as never before. In the past year throughout South Carolina, 35,000 children experienced domestic violence; 20,000 children were arrested for various crimes; 42 children were killed by firearms; 61,000 children were treated for drug or alcohol abuse; and 37% of SC teens experienced unplanned pregnancy. Children have not heard of their Creator God and the hope of salvation He brings to them through His Son, Jesus Christ. Our mission is to share the Good News to the children of South Carolina by supporting the local church with training, materials and opportunities to reach "the least of these" in their communities.

Charting impact

Four powerful questions that require reflection about what really matters - results.

What is the organization aiming to accomplish?

We are focused on providing support to local churches with the goal of reaching every child in South Carolina with the message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. To accomplish this we partner with local churches to adopt a local elementary school, community centers, or even neighborhood homes where children may be reached. We provide highly effective training to cover many different volunteer service roles along with biblically sound teaching materials utilizing a variety of methods to reach every learning style. CEF continuously provides ongoing support and encouragement to the churches and volunteers while providing additional suggestions to reach the children's family as well.

What are the organization's key strategies for making this happen?

We provide training, materials, resources, opportunities and on-going support to assist church leadership and parishioners. CEF's dedicated staff has undergone rigorous training to assure that our training for volunteers is of the highest excellence. All materials used focuses on the truths of God's Holy Bible, including teaching principles. CEF provides ongoing resources for the volunteers as well as the children they are reaching. From a Children's Ministry Bible (Nelson Publishing), the Children's Ministry Institute, and a variety of children's materials and more, CEF seeks to provide tools that continue to evangelize and disciples children.

What are the organization's capabilities for doing this?

Individuals, businesses and churches provide funding to enable our limited South Carolina staff to work with literally thousands of volunteers from hundreds of churches to reach in excess of 35,000 SC children per year. Staff is proficiently trained through CEF's Children's Ministry Institute with the goal of multiplying their mission through training others effective methods of child evangelism to children unreached by the local church. CEF Press provides materials which are versatile and effective. Ultimately, it is the mission of the church to reach children and families within the community. CEF's role is to support the church as a community rallies around God's heart and vision that, "not one of these little ones should perish" (Matthew 18:14).

What have they accomplished so far and what's next?

Over the past 20 years, we have grown from 3 CEF local offices covering 15 counties in the state. Presently, we have 11 local CEF offices covering every county in South Carolina. We are currently working with nearly 500 local churches in over 350 public elementary schools in South Carolina. With these church partnerships this past year, we collectively ministered to over 22,000 children weekly and shared the Gospel message to more than 41,000 children in South Carolina. It is our prayer and hope to continue supporting the local church to reach more children who are unreached. We desire for every child to know their Creator God, giving them the opportunity and choice to know and love Him.

Balance sheet

Fiscal Year: Jan 01 - Dec 31

SOURCE: IRS Form 990

The balance sheet gives a snapshot of the financial health of an organization at a particular point in time. An organization's total assets should generally exceed its total liabilities, or it cannot survive long, but the types of assets and liabilities must also be considered. For instance, an organization's current assets (cash, receivables, securities, etc.) should be sufficient to cover its current liabilities (payables, deferred revenue, current year loan, and note payments). Otherwise, the organization may face solvency problems. On the other hand, an organization whose cash and equivalents greatly exceed its current liabilities might not be putting its money to best use.
