CFC-Singles for Christ (CFC-SFC) is a Catholic evangelistic ministry for single men and women. CFC-SFC is the singles of Couples for Christ (CFC). Established in 1993 with the CFC Family Ministries, CFC-SFC is now in over 160 countries together with Couples for Christ.

History

CFC-Singles for Christ was established in 1993 as a ministry to single, young professionals of Couples for Christ, headquartered in Manila, Philippines. Although it grew slowly at first, CFC-SFC gradually expanded into areas already established by CFC, and established its own SFC mission areas. By 2005, CFC-SFC had over 200,000 members worldwide. CFC-SFC now has a worldwide membership of 300,000.

Organization

Like the rest of the CFC Family Ministries, CFC-Singles for Christ is established in an area side-by-side with Couples for Christ, usually at a parish. CFC-SFC members are organized into Household cell groups (a group of 10 to 12 singles), which are led by a Household Head. Multiple households form a Unit, multiple units form a Chapter, multiple chapters form a Cluster, and a Sector can be formed depending on the amount of clusters in the area.

CFC-Singles for Christ is overseen by the CFC Family Ministries Director, currently Melo Villaroman, Jr. CFC-SFC is directly governed by the SFC International Council based in Manila, currently led by Aldy and Joy Katigbak, the YFC International Couple Coordinators. Locally, CFC-SFC is overseen by SFC Couple Coordinators, CFC members who have volunteered to serve in CFC-SFC. Couple Coordinators report directly to the CFC Chapter Head for CFC-YFC pastoral formation, training, and finances.

Conferences

Annually, since 1993, CFC-Singles for Christ annually gathers over 10,000 of its members and leaders from all over the Philippines and abroad at the CFC-Singles for Christ International Leaders Conference (ILC) during the summer. The CFC-SFC ILC is CFC-SFC's global conference and CFC-SFC Philippines' national conference.

CFC-Singles for Christ USA (SFC USA) will be holding the 14th CFC-Singles for Christ USA National Leaders Conference at the Town & Country Rest and Convention Center in San Diego, California on August 22-24, 2008. The CFC-Singles for Christ USA National Leaders Conference is one of the largest Catholic singles conferences in the United States.
