Families in the Holy Spirit Renewing the Face of the Earth

Couples for Christ (CFC) began in 1981 in Manila when a local community tried out a new approach in evangelizing married couples. The method used consisted of bringing together a small group of prospective couples in a private home. There they were brought to a living relationship with Jesus Christ and to a renewal of weekly informal discussions of the gospel in a social setting.

Soon, CFC became a Christian family life renewal program made available to parishes and groups of married couples who wished to live out their Christian life in an active, supportive relationship with one another.

Through the years, CFC has blossomed into a worldwide ministry, becoming a major force for the renewal of Christian family life and also of the bigger Church. Currently present in over 100 countries, CFC continues to be an effective tool in winning the world for Christ.

CFC Vancouver grew from a mere 3 couples, doubling and tripling as the years went by. The Holy Spirit set foot into the hearts of clergy & lay people alike, thus allowing Christian Life Programs to be conducted all over the Lower Mainland. In homes & in churches, the love of God spread, and like wildfire, it could not be stopped.

Couples for Christ Vancouver was officially recognized by the Archdiocese of Vancouver on February 14, 1995. His Grace Reverend Adam Exner appointed Rev. Fr. Peter Chiang as the Spiritual Director.

Today God continues to bless this community with more allies in the fight against evil.
