Our Staff

Chelsea Cummins

State
Director

The Lord first called to be a missionary at age 14 through Christian Youth in Action Camp® (a missionary training camp of CEF®). In 2016, that calling became clear as the Lord called me to be a local CEF missionary. Now years later,  I am blessed to serve all of our faithful missionaries and volunteers throughout Northern California.  One of my favorite things about CEF is training more people how to share the powerful gospel message with the largest and most open mission field – the children! I have been married to my incredible husband, Shaun, for over twenty years and have four awesome kids (Shaylin, Chloe, Liam, and Alanna). I love tea, cats, playing games, leading youth group with Shaun, and traveling.

Bre Rayford

Director of
Ministry Advancement​

Sabrina “Bre” Rayford is passionate about helping people grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ through discipleship, teaching, leadership development, and outreach ministry. She has served in a variety of ministry roles and church leadership. Alongside her husband, Jake, she serves in pastoral ministry at Foundation Christian Church in Citrus Heights, CA. As a wife and mother of five children, Bre understands the importance of investing in the next generation and helping families build a strong foundation of faith. Her greatest joy is seeing children, families, and communities transformed by the hope and truth of Jesus Christ.

Ree Brown

Assistant to the
state director

I am so blessed to be a part of CEF, serving the Lord by supporting Chelsea and our Local Chapters as they share the Gospel with kids all around NorCal. I have spent many years of my life doing ministry and attending Bible College all over the world, now I am married the most amazing man in the world and we have two beautiful children. I love coffee, reading, and Star Wars.

We are praying that the Lord will bring men and women from across Northern California to join our state board. Do you have big vision, business experience, ministry experience, fundraising skills and/or leadership skills and a heart to see kids come to know Jesus? Consider applying as a volunteer state board member.
