LEADERSHIP
CFC GUAM
CFC Guam is an integral part of worldwide CFC family, a global network of CFC groups acting within the framework of the overall CFC vision and mission. It shares the same basic mission throughout the world. Its task is to serve the Lord basically in three areas: evangelization, family life renewal, and total Christian liberation.
CFC Guam decides on its own specific plans and strategies which to carry out the CFC mission, but always in line with CFC's global direction and thrusts. CFC Guam is guided by the following principles: unity and uniformity, interdependence, and accountability.
1. Unity
COUPLES FOR CHRIST throughout the world is one body, one family, one army. It is to have one vision and one mission. It is one united work of the Holy Spirit. It is to live out one culture, the Christian culture that transcends national, racial and social differences.
2. Uniformity
CFC Guam is to be distinguishable in any part of the world by any member. This is accomplished by uniformity in the most important elements that make a group a part of the worldwide CFC family.
3. Interdependence
CFC Guam being part global network of CFC groups in different countries, acts within the framework of the overall CFC vision and mission.
4. Accountability
CFC Guam is accountable to the Lord for its life and service, and as a concrete and practical expression of this, is accountable to the CFC International Council for the conduct of its life and work, while preserving always the rights of the local Ordinary.
A. CFC Guam should take initiative in pursuing the CFC vision and mission, and should work towards being self-sufficient, self-reliant and self-supporting as to the required human, financial and logistical resources.
B. CFC Manila functions as the center for the work of COUPLES FOR CHRIST throughout the world. The CFC International Council (Manila) is tasked with overseeing the work of CFC Guam, strengthening the life and mission of CFC throughout the world, and preserving the unity of the worldwide family.
