Couples for Christ

The Couples for Christ (CFC) is an international Catholic lay ecclesial movement[1] whose goal is to renew and strengthen Christian values.

Couples for Christ (CFC) was established in 1981 by the charismatic community Ang Ligaya ng Panginoon (LNP; Filipino for "The Joy of the Lord") in Manila.

At the end of the CLP, couples are invited to dedicate themselves to the Lord as CFC members, and commit themselves to active participation in community life and the Church.

This is done through regular prayer meetings, attendance in community assemblies and teachings sessions , and participation in parish life.

In 2014, an update of the Christian Life Program has been released to reflect that CFC is explicitly Catholic, truly global, and devotedly Marian.

It is an umbrella program made for the purpose of consolidating CFC's efforts in 'Building the Church of the Poor,' essentially a social outreach undertaking.

Certain aspects affecting the society are also being addressed through the ANCOP program, such as health, education, livelihood and community development activities.

As a social outreach program, ANCOP also involves sectors such as migrants and their families, uniformed personnel, those in prison, and environment stakeholders.
