COUPLES FOR CHRIST
CHRISTIAN LIFE PROGRAM
The Christian Life Program (CLP) is an integrated course intended to lead the program participants into a renewed understanding of and response to God's call to them as Christian couples. The program has a total of 13 separate sessions, usually held once a week.
Goals of the CLP
Specifically, the CLP is intended to achieve the following:
1. Bring the participant to repentance and a renewed faith in Jesus.
2. Empower the participant in the Christian life through baptism in the Holy Spirit.
3. Integrate the participant into a strong environment of support and ongoing formation.
Content of the CLP
The CLP starts with an orientation session, then goes into 3 modules of 4 sessions each.
The first module presents the absolute basics of Christian life. The second module presents the kind of life that God calls us to, and helps couples to make a reorientation of their lives around Jesus.
