WE ARE STILL
“BABIES IN CHRIST”
AND WE NEED TO
GROW.
STATEMENT OF
VISION
“Families in the Holy Spirit
Renewing the Face of the Earth.”
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.
STATEMENT OF
MISSION
“Building the Church of the Home
and the Church of the Poor.”
“We are the Couples for Christ.
We are committed to live in God’s
righteousness and holiness;
evangelizing people through a life
of love and service;
We shall work for the renewal of
families that will serve God
And build generations of
Christian leaders; and
We shall pursue Total Christian
Liberation through social justice,
respect for life and work with the
poor.”
STATEMENT OF
PHILOSOPHY
WE BELIEVE in marriage as
an indissoluble institution as
taught by our Lord Jesus
Christ. That God created
marriage primarily for love
between man and woman, and
for the procreation and proper
rearing of children.
WE BELIEVE that God created
man and wife with equal
personal worth and dignity.
That God ordained order in the
family by giving the man the
role as head of the family and
the woman as helpmate and
support, which best expresses
their complementarity.
WE BELIEVE in the inalienable
and irreplaceable right and
responsibility of parents to
educate their children. That
children need to be educated in
essential human and Christian
values for them to become
responsible and mature
members of society.
WE BELIEVE that the family in
practicing the Gospel message
shares in the life and mission of
the Church – Through prayers,
evangelization and service to
men. We uphold and defend the
rights of the family as
proclaimed in chapter on family
rights.
And lastly, WE BELIEVE that
Christian family renewal can
best be achieved by inviting
Jesus to be the Lord of our
homes and by allowing the
power of the Holy Spirit to lead
our family lives and through the
full use of all charismatic gifts
at our disposal.
HOW CAN WE
