Central Coast

CEF NorCal Central Coast includes Monterey, Santa Cruz and San Benito Counties. We are a diverse region with some areas of affluence and some areas of poverty, as well as foothills and farmlands. Our region is home to over 770,000 people. Unfortunately, according to a 2019 Barna Study, Monterey-Salinas are listed as the 21st most unchurched cities in the United States. This is why we endeavor to share the Good News of Jesus with as many children as possible – for their good and God’s glory!

Our passion is to reach every child with the Gospel of Jesus Christ, disciple them in God’s Word, establish them in a local church and help them find ways to serve and glorify God with their lives.
