What is a Good News Club?
A Good News Club is a one hour and fifteen minute Bible Club for children in grades 1 though 6 held during the school year. It is held the same day each week usually from October through April. The children come as they are right after school to hear a dynamic Bible lesson, sing exciting visualized songs, memorize life-changing Scripture verses by use of games, hear inspiring missionary stories, and share in a fun review game. An opportunity to receive Jesus Christ as Savior is given. Activities to help them grow in Christ are presented. Prizes, snacks and contests are also an enjoyable part of the Good News Club.
Where Does a Good News Club Meet?
Good News Clubs meet in the neighborhood where children live and they also meet in public schools. Since June 11, 2001 it is totally legal for children to meet for Good News Clubs after school in the public school. Check out Upcoming Events to see if a Good News Club is held in your school or neighborhood. If not, contact us if you would like to see one started.
Who Teaches a Good News Club?
Christians who are concerned for boys and girls work together volunteering their time and energy to teach Good News Clubs. The teachers are trained by Child Evangelism Fellowship workers to have a club that is exciting and informative so that children will want to keep coming. Teachers are asked to sign the CEF Statement of Faith and agree to abide by the policies of the organization.
Why should children attend a Good News Club?
When children attend Good News Club they learn respect for authority, moral values, character qualities, and Biblical principles. The Gospel is clearly shared in each meeting and the children are given an opportunity to trust Jesus as their personal Savior. Children are also challenged to grow in their Christian walk. Children are given an opportunity to enroll in the Mailbox Club Lesson. There is no charge for children to attend the Good News Club.
Why are parents in favor of after-school Good News Clubs?
Parents are in favor of after-school Good News Clubs because they offer real-life solutions backed by the power of the Word of God; lead children to a personal relationship with Jesus Christ; help children develop a committed walk with Jesus Christ; improve memory skills, grades, attitudes, and behavior at school; and offer the moral foundation needed to combat the pressures of drugs, violence, and other harmful influences.
Eight-year old Sam* was saved in the Good News Club. The Good News Club teachers encouraged Sam to attend church and Sunday School. Sam’s Mom did not attend church, but every Sunday morning Sam got up and took his younger brothers to church and Sunday School.
