The Entry Point to the Couples For Christ Family
We offer a Christian Life Program (CLP) as the entry point into the ministry. This is conducted for the adult ministries of CFC, whereas KFC and YFC hold weekend camps as entry points for their respective ministries. Their camps integrate the basics of the Catholic faith, in a fun, and Spirit-filled atmosphere.
The CLP is an integrated course intended to lead the program participants into a renewed understanding of God's call to them as Christians. It runs for a total of 13 separate sessions, held once a week. Most sessions consist of 3 basic ingredients: teaching, group discussion, and fellowship lasting for about 2 1/2 hours. The CLP is divided into an orientation session and then 3 modules of 4 sessions each.
There are no fees or any monetary expenses required of the participants. The only investment required is their time and their openness.
The CLP has two basic purposes: evangelism and spiritual renewal. To evangelize is to take the basic message of Christianity and to proclaim it anew so that those who hear it can make a renewed commitment to the Lord in a way which will allow them to receive a fuller experience of the work of the Holy Spirit in their lives.
Spiritual renewal works in three ways:
For the individual, it brings a person into a stronger relationship with God by discovering and living more fully the power and gifts he or she received through the Holy Spirit.
For the family, it brings married couples to a renewed commitment to Christian family Life and it starts to build up a community of committed Christian families.
For the Church, it brings people within a particular parish to a fuller experience of life in the Spirit. Consequently it strengthens and revitalizes community life in the parish.
