Who we are
Moved by the Holy Spirit, one with the Catholic Church, blessed to witness to Christ’s love and service, Couples for Christ is a united global community of family evangelizers that sets the world on fire with the fullness of God’s transforming love.
We are committed to live in God’s righteousness and holiness, evangelizing people through a life of love and service; we work for the renewal of families that will serve God and build generations of Christian leaders; and, we pursue total Christian liberation through social justice, respect for life, and work with the poor.
What we do
- Catholic: We work for the renewal of families that will serve God and build generations of Christian leaders.
- Family: We strive to build up the domestic church by strengthening relationships and empowering every member of the family.
- Community: Our activities cater to all members of the family at any given stage of life – child, youth, young adult, married, elderly, divorced, widowed, and single.

In 2000, CFC Global was recognized by the Holy See (Vatican) as a private international association of the lay faithful of pontifical right.
