Grow & Go - Christian Youth In Action

Introducing Junior CYIA!

This is a program to build into our future leaders who are 12 years old. This will help develop leadership skills, speaking and teaching skills, and provide amazing faith building experiences.

Junior CYIA’ers will join the local pre-training to learn how to effectively share the Gospel, understand God’s view of children, and begin growing as part of the summer team. They will learn how to interact with the club participants, lead in songs, and teach the Word Up! during the club hour.

Junior CYIA students will aid the CYIA summer missionaries in reaching children with the Gospel in our area in June & July!


Growing & Going

Summer at CEF is an exciting and busy time. Our passion is reaching kids for Christ and helping teens grow into who God wants them to be.

Do you know a teen 13-19 or a 12 year old ready to grow deeper in his or her faith?

Many CYIA teens have said that the CYIA program gave them confidence in their faith and the tools & opportunities to share it.
Others have said this was the first time that they had ever told someone else about Jesus.

Don't miss out this summer in growing in your relationship with God and going out to our area with the Gospel!


Christian Youth In Action®

CYIA™ is a local summer mission program designed to train and equip teens in effective and engaging ways to teach children about God while deepening their own faith and growing more into who God wants them to be. The program is open to teens ages 13-19 who are interested in serving the Lord.

After teens attend a 7 day training school camp, they will return to our local community and teach 5-Day Club®s at various community locations with a team.


How can teens get in on this opportunity?
