We are very excited you are here!

We take reaching the children with the Gospel Message very seriously! We also consider it a great responsibility to protect the children we serve, the volunteers who serve the children, our partnering churches and the good name of Jesus Christ.

We are glad you are considering helping us in this effort of reaching EVERY child, EVERY neighborhood, EVERY day.
*If you have consistently served CEF within this past year or it has been less than 5-years since you have completed a Full Background Screening. Please use the Annual Agreement button to the right. If you are not sure, please contact us. Otherwise proceed below. Thank-you for your interest in ministering to the children of this CEF Chapter.

Adult volunteers -- Age 15 and older

Thank you for your decision to volunteer with CEF of Lincoln. Following are some important considerations for all who will volunteer regardless of their interaction with children.
  • All volunteers and CEF missionaries are required to undergo a national criminal background check
  • CEF does online background checks utilizing a secure server so that your information is safe
  • All approved workers will receive a required name-tag upon completion of steps 1-3.
  • You will need to go online to complete the screening process. CEF will pay your screening fee.

Step 1: PRIOR to COMPLETING THE ONLINE APPLICATION

Complete the following:
A.   Read the Statement of Faith cefonline.com/statementoffaith
B.   Read the Worker's Compliance Agreement cefonline.com/wca
C.   Read the Child Protection Policy cefonline.com/policy
D.   Watch the 12-minute "Protecting Today's Child" presentation cefonline.com/childprotection or listen at 1-866-878-4182
E.   Gather the following information to enter online:
  • Your salvation testimony
  • Reference contact information (name, phone, email). This should include: pastor or church leader, previous employer, and two personal references. No relatives please
  • Previous addresses (last 5 years)
  • Driver's License (if applicable) and Social Security Number

Step 2: APPLY

If you have prepared the information requested in Step 1, it will take you approximately 15 minutes to complete the online application. Note: The system will time out after approximately 10 minutes of no activity, and you must complete the form within 40 minutes.

The online application MUST be completed from a computer. It will not allow you to view and complete from a mobile device such as a Tablet or Smartphone. You may use a Laptop. If you do not have access to a computer simply contact us and we can make arrangements for you to use a computer at our CEF Offices once you have gathered the information suggested in Step 1 above.
**Online parental consent for screening is required for applicants under the age of 18**
IF YOU ARE A MINOR:
  • After you enter your birth-date a pop-up notification will appear. Your parent/guardian must click OK and you can continue with the form.
  • At the end of the form, your parent/guardian must be the one to check the "I Agree" box and enter their full name as a signature.
Please do not falsify this portion should it apply to you. Doing so will disqualify you from serving in the Lincoln Chapter and may hinder your eligibility in other chapters and or ministries.

Step 3: ID CHECK AND INTERVIEW

This final step will be completed by a CEF executive staff member, board or committee chairman or vice-chairman, at an orientation meeting. This will be done prior to serving.
  • You will be required to show a photo ID (driver's license, passport, or school ID) and answer a few interview questions.
  • Once this step is complete, you will receive your name-tag, indicating that you are a screened volunteer.
Please complete steps 1-2 as soon as possible. You will receive confirmation once your screening has been submitted, and we will notify your key contact that you have completed steps 1-2.
Thank you for volunteering to reach boys and girls with the Good News of Jesus Christ! May God bless you as you faithfully serve Him!
