CFC's Seven Pillars

1. Evangelization and Mission

CFC is an evangelistic and missionary community, adhering to the Great Commission of Jesus Christ. CFC believes that all its members are evangelizers, and they are to spread Christianity in every way they can.

2. Pastoral Support

CFC's work entails logistical and administrative concerns. A dedicated group of CFC leaders and members deal with this by providing backroom and frontline support for evangelization work; ensuring the operations of the CFC Home Office; and other matters such as development of teachings and formation courses, counseling services, and financial accounting.

3. Family Ministries

CFC aspires to be a "womb-to-tomb" family renewal community: it seeks to evangelize every family member other than the couple, and to support them at all stages of life.

  • CFC Kids for Christ (KFC): For children between the ages of 4-12.
  • CFC Youth for Christ (YFC): For young teenagers between 13 to 21 years of age.
  • CFC Singles for Christ (SFC): For single men and women who are choosing between marriage, a religious vocation, or celibacy.
  • CFC Handmaids of the Lord (HOLD): For single mature women, widows, separated or divorced, single parents, wives of overseas workers, and those whose husbands are incapacitated or in prison.
  • CFC Servants of the Lord (SOLD): For bachelors, widowers, separated or divorced, single parents, husbands of overseas workers, expatriates, and those whose wives are incapacitated or in prison.

4. Social Ministries

CFC is active in social evangelization. It seeks to dismantle poverty, injustice, and oppression, since it believes that these are not from God.

  • CFC Educational Foundation Inc.: To teach Christian values to children.
  • Flame Ministries Inc.: To produce Christian audio-visual presentations and merchandise.
  • Give Kare Health Foundation Inc.: To promote better health care programs within and outside of the CFC community.
  • Isaiah 61:1: To promote Christianity within prisons/detention centers/correctional facilities.
  • St. Thomas More and Associates: To foster Christian living among politicians, government employees, and legal practitioners.
  • The Sword of Gideon: To encourage military personnel to abide by Christian ideals in their activities.
  • Tekton Guild: To seek an equitable distribution of wealth throughout the world, similar to the early Christian communities.
  • Teodora: In Defense of the Authentic Woman, Inc.: To promote respect for women and their role within the family.
  • The Oikos Society: To promote environmental protection, including proper waste management.

5. Gawad Kalinga

Gawad Kalinga (GK) is CFC's work of building communities among the poor. GK aims to eradicate poverty through a Christian approach of building colorful houses and participating in the way of life of the residents. By doing this, CFC seeks to promote Christianity among the poor, and encourage them to see beyond their poverty and hope for better life. GK sees itself as a vehicle of nation-building, particularly because of the participation of secular and religious organizations other than CFC.

6. Pro-Life

As a Catholic community, CFC adheres to the Church's teachings on the culture of life. CFC sees itself as a defender of family and life by opposing abortion, contraception, sterilization, capital punishment, euthanasia, assisted suicide, same sex marriage, cloning, and population control.

7. Special Ministries

CFC believes that for the work of the Church to prosper, the unity and collaboration of laity, clergy, and religious will be crucial, with the laity leading missionary work. The Special Ministries will be a grouping of various programs by which CFC can help the Church in this effort.

  • Missionary Society of St. Francis and St. Paul: A charismatic, missionary association of priests, nuns, brothers and other lay persons
  • Priests for Family and Life: For priests who share CFC's vision of global evangelization, family life renewal, and work with the poor, and willing to help propagate CFC
  • Nuns for Christ: For religious sisters who share CFC's vision of global evangelization, family life renewal, and work with the poor, and willing to help propagate CFC
  • Jacob's Well: A ministry for persons in "irregular unions" (those with previous valid marriages, have separated or divorced, and have moved on to new relationships)
