Kids For Christ Vancouver Region 2.09

CFC Kids for Christ grows mainly through the establishment of CFC-KFC in areas and parishes with Couples for Christ (CFC) or another CFC ministry already present.

CFC Kids for Christ is overseen by the CFC Family Ministries Director, currently Mannix Ocampo. CFC-KFC is directly governed by the KFC International Coordinator, currently Nic Escalona Jr. Locally, CFC-KFC is overseen by KFC Couple Coordinators, CFC members who have volunteered to serve in CFC-KFC. Couple Coordinators report directly to the CFC Chapter Head for CFC-KFC pastoral formation, training, and finances.

“Let the children come to me and don’t stop them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these.” Mark 10:14

CFC Kids for Christ (KFC) is a family ministry of Couples for Christ (CFC). It is a means of supporting CFC’s mission of bringing families back to the plan of God by providing an environment that would assist the CFC parents in fulfilling this mission.

As a response to Jesus’ call, CFC Kids for Christ will help the children enjoy a relationship with Jesus Christ in an environment that is fun and life-giving in the company of their friends, and create an atmosphere where Christian values can be shared, practiced, developed, and experienced.

CFC Kids for Christ aims to provide a Christian support environment for kids of Couples for Christ members between the ages of 4-12. Owing to the wide age range covered by the ministry, we have set programs for the Junior Kids, those of ages 4 to 8 and the Senior Kids, those of ages 9 to 12. Realizing that a program for kids needs to be simply understood, exciting and fun-filled, we have put a premium on four characteristics for our Kids for Christ program:

KFC believes that to be able to build an attractive environment to the kids, the program should have the “ 4F ” principle:

Fun
It is fun. Activities are enjoyable and they stimulate the child’s creativity, perception, and sensitivity.

Friendship
It is built on friendships. Activities encourage the members to build strong friendships with one another.

Faith
It enhances the faith. Activities are geared towards their relationship with God explain Christian faith elements in kids language.

Freedom
It allows, free but responsible expression. Activities respect the kids for who and what they are and who and what they can be.
