CEIS exists to meet the demand for parents wanting their

children to receive Christian Education at school

CEIS currently provides this service in 22 schoolsand coordinates nearly 50 sessions per term

Current research tells us that 92% of Australian children have no connection to a church

AND YET 25% of parents are saying YES when it is requested in their child’s school

What are the children saying?

“I now see how much

Jesus loves me and do you know, I love Him too!”

“I wasn’t going to come today, but I

got it! I really got it!”

“Because of Jesus we can be

friends with God again - forever!”

“He came alive again!

That’s crazy!”

“It’s just like a big puzzle but

now all the pieces fit

together!”

Thousands of local school children are learning about GOD! And requests keep coming! You can help CEIS meet this demand by:

• letting parents know they can request Christian Education at their child’s school

• praying for CEIS

• volunteering in schools

• donating

Every $ donated helps children connect to GOD through

• delivery of Christian Education

• training for volunteers

• resources, staff and infrastructure

• coordination across schools, churches, volunteers

• promotion of CEIS to ACT parents & volunteers

• information to all parties
