WHO WE ARE

Our Mission


The mission of Christian Executive Fellowship is to equip, fortify, support and encourage Christian leaders and entrepreneurs

to lead with the Biblical principles of integrity, wisdom, accountability, stewardship and humility.

Through Christ-centered global servant leadership, initiatives and best practices,

we serve to expand His Kingdom through prayer, action

and the responsible tithing of time, talents and resources.

Strategically, we partner with other organizations dedicated to Kingdom expansion.

INTRODUCING

CEF's 2025-2026 Leadership &

Advisory Team

The purpose of the CEF Leadership & Advisory Committee is three-fold: first, to pray for the mission of CEF and that we are following God's Plan for this organization. The second focus is to work collaboratively to provide authentic and meaningful programs to meet the diverse and growing needs of our Fellowship. And finally, we are committed to being wise stewards of the financial resources entrusted to use to fulfill our Christ-centered mission through prayer, action and servant leadership.
