At the 2025 OC Fair, more than 6,000 people heard about Jesus and 635 of those souls made decisions to follow Him! You are WELCOME to join as a volunteer OR please stop by and say hello. Bring that neighbor, cousin or family member you have had on your heart. We would love nothing more than to pray for you and for your family at the beloved tradition of CEF at the fair :)

The fair starts on July 17th and runs until August 16th. We are very busy getting everything ready and I wanted to update you on a couple of things:

  1. Volunteers Needed!! We need Volunteers for 3-hour shifts, with four shifts available each day: (each with an arrival time of 1/2 hour prior to start time). 11:00-2:00 p.m.; 2:00 to 5:00 p.m.; 5:00 to 8:00 pm; and 8:00 to 11:00 p.m. Please sign up for any time that works for you, and please consider signing up for multiple shifts if your schedule allows. There are over 350 spots to fill. :) SIGN UP LINK AVAILABLE EARLY APRIL! NOTE: ALL Fair workers MUST be Background Checked through CEF (not live scanned).
