Who is Couples for Christ Australia?

Couples for Christ (CFC) Australia is a Catholic renewal community, whose goal is to strengthen the Christian family. We believe Couples for Christ is a work of God established to support Christian families committed to living by the biblical principles. Members do this by meeting weekly in small household groups where we share our faith and support each other.

Our members have committed themselves to serve God, to evangelise and to spread the good news of Jesus Christ throughout Australia and all over the world. Through our formation programs we aim to help others and ourselves grow in maturity as men and women of God and to fulfil the role of our primary vocation, by raising up families under the lordship of Jesus Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit.

We see ourselves as servants of Christ working towards total human liberation through the power of the Holy Spirit. As lay individuals, we endeavour to support the work of the church by supporting our parishes. Our service extends to the families of members youth, singles the divorced and separated.

We see by taking a holistic approach to the family and all of its combinations is part of God's plan for all his people.
