CFC traces it origin to [[Manila]], Philippines, established by a Catholic lay community ''Ang Ligaya ng Panginoon (LNP)'' ([[Filipino]] for the Joy of the Lord) as its outreach to evangelize married couples.  

Beginning with the 16 couples who attended the weekly gathering, CFC became a Christian Family Life Renewal Program which was later made available to parishes and groups of married couples who wished to live out their Christian life in an active, supportive relationship with one another.
