A single person can only be acknowledged as a full-fledged SFC member after he / she has gone through the 13-week Christian Life Program (CLP). Mixed CLPs (meaning CLPs with CFC, HOLD, SOLD and SFC participants) and Fast Track CLPs (meaning CLPs with compressed talks or over a weekend) are only used for starting areas. Once an area has SFC already, the 13 week CLP format should be used. SFC member
s must go through a series of pastoral formation for nourishment and sustenance. This is very crucial to their growth as individuals and empowerment as servants in the ministry. Members are organized into household cells (a group of 5 to 7 members) led by a household head. Unit heads lead household heads, chapter heads lead unit heads, and cluster heads lead chapter heads. Overall direction is provided by a national council. CFC-SFC Logo
The Concentric Circles
These stand for two wedding rings, one on top of the other. They depict Christian marriage, where two have become one. They stand for the unity between the husband and wife, a unity manifesting itself in mutual love and service. The rings also point to our family life ministry. The family is to be the focus as well as the foundation of our work. The Cross
This stands for the cross of Christ. The central position of the cross states that Christ is at the center of our lives and of our work. The cross is also an empty cross. It shows that Christ is risen. By His death and resurrection, Christ conquered sin and death and won for us our salvation. The Dove
The dove represents the Holy Spirit. It is the Holy Spirit Who is our guide, our counsellor, our advocate. He is the Spirit of truth. He is the source of power and strength for the Christian life. The dove also indicates the charismatic dimension of our spirituality. We are to pursue our work of renewal with the full use of charismatic gifts at our disposal (1 Cor 12:4-11). The Concentric Circles and the Cross
The circles also stand for the globe or the world. Christ is at the center. He is the King of kings and Lord of lords. Our work is to participate in the fulfillment of God's plan: to bring all things in the heavens and on earth into one under Christ's headship (Eph 1:10). Taken all together, the overall meaning of CFC logo is: CFC is a work of Christ which raises up Christian couples and establishes Christian families committed to the work of evangelization and winning the world for Christ through the power of the Holy Spirit.
