In 1982, Chinese Filipino businessman Peter Tan-Chi began an evangelistic home Bible study in Brookside Subdivision, Cainta, Rizal.

In August 1984, the group founded the Christ's Commission Foundation at the Asian Institute of Management in Makati, hosting their first Sunday worship service there.

Services moved from AIM to Greenbelt in Makati, then to a conference room, and eventually to the Philippine International Convention Center Plenary Hall in Pasay.

In 2014, one of CCF's executive pastors, Ricky Sarthou, drew controversy online for a Facebook post showing himself dressed as an Arab suicide bomber at a costume party.

In response, the CCF Board issued a statement defending the use of offshore bank accounts and asserting that Tan-Chi has not engaged in any illegal business practices.
