Growing the Ministry in Our Region
The DURHAM AREA CHAPTER covers eight counties - Alamance, Caswell, Chatham, Durham, Granville, Orange, Person, and Vance. We have significant
ministry in Durham and Orange counties, and are focusing on developing partnerships with churches in the other six counties.
Currently, Dr. David Johnson, staff coordinating ministry development and
technology, has established CEF summer ministry with churches in three new
counties.
Adopt-a-school Good News Clubsฎ
Orange County Schools have clubs meeting at Cameron
Park, Efland-Cheeks, and Pathways elementary schools. A church team is
being developed for adopting Hillsborough
Elementary School. Other school systems surrounding Durham and Orange
counties are open for CEF clubs as well, but mission teams need to be
developed to adopt these schools.
Unfortunately, Durham Public Schools rejects any working solution
that would allow CEF clubs to resume immediately after the closing school bell.
Meetings by any non-school group must be held after 6 PM. Parents have rejected the idea of bringing their kids back
to school 3 hours after school ends for a Bible club.
The Church at Durham is asked to move into action for the sake
of children, families, and our society.
Diversity: Clubs
meeting in Durham communities
Bible clubs, tutoring, community projects, sports activities,
health & nutrition, and other types of activities round out the
diversity of Good News Clubs, which are meeting in Durham. Many are
in the inner city. Some in the suburbs as others meet in church
after school programs. About 800 kids are taught lessons from the Bible,
the 7 Most Important Things in the World, missions, and how to apply all
this to their own lives. Led by CEF-trained volunteers, kids 5-14
years of age meet weekly throughout the traditional school year.
