Couples for Christ (CFC)
PROGRAMS
Christian Life Program (CLP)
The Christian Life Program (CLP) is an integrated course intended to lead the program participants into a renewed understanding of God’s call to them as Christian couples or individuals. There are twelve sessions which consist of a teaching, a group discussion, and a time for fellowship. Each session would normally last for about 2 1/2 hours.
What are the goals of the CLP?
1. For the individual, it brings a person into a stronger relaÂtionship with God by discovering and living more fully the power and gifts he or she received through the Holy Spirit.
2. For the family, it brings married couples to a renewed commitÂment to Christian family Life and it starts to build up a commuÂnity of committed Christian families.
3. 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.
