CFC-Singles
for Family and Life
What
is CFC Singles for Family and Life (CFC-SFL)?
CFC-SFL
is a ministry of Couples for Christ Foundation for Family
and Life (CFC-FFL) that focuses on the
evangelization of single men and women aged 21-40 years
old.
CFC-SFL
provides an environment to help these single men and women
to live a full and meaningful life with Christ at the center
of it.
CFC-SFL
is a Catholic Ministry where single men and women can experience
Jesus Christ, know their state of life, be effective and
efficient in their workplace, be a strong witness of God's
love and faithfulness in their family, peers, and community,
where everyone can experience true brotherhood and sisterhood
having God at the center of it.
What
is the CFC-SFL entry point?
The
Singles candidate attends a 9-week Christian Life Seminar
(CLS) after which they receive support through regular Household
(cell group) Meetings, Prayer Assemblies and fellowship
with other brothers and sisters.
Three
months later, the candidate will go through the Covenant
Recollection for an even deeper growth in their relationship
with God and for a better understanding of their commitment
to God as a community. At this point, the Singles candidate
will decide whether he or she desires to enter into this
covenant to be a community member of CFC-SFL.

What
is the Life and Culture of CFC-SFL?
Worship
We
nurture our personal relationship with the Lord through
personal prayer time and charismatic worship as a community.
Discipleship
We are all called to discipleship in accordance to how
God calls each one uniquely. In SFL, opportunities for
service are provided such as giving talks, leading a household,
serving in the parish, ministering in the prisons, teaching
catechism to children as well as other ways to lead to
the restoration of life as a whole.
Ministry
Our spiritual formation is continuous through our regular
teachings and activities about God’s promises and
plan, Scripture as well as our veneration to our Blessed
Virgin Mary as our intercessor.
We
also have an annual World Singles Congress wherein SFL
members from all over the world gather in one place and
be nourished by God’s message to the community for
the year.
Evangelism
We are witnesses of God’s love and faithfulness
by the way we live our lives. We hope that others will
come to know God’s saving power and, through our
example, be led to know and love Him more.
As an evangelistic community, we also go on mission trips
to spread God’s message of love and hope to other
places within and outside of the country.
Fellowship
We relate with each other in brotherhood and sisterhood.
After the CLS, the Singles are divided into household
(cell) groups composed of 5-7 members each. This household
meets at least twice a month in prayer, personal sharing
and sometimes just having fun together.
