This organization is currently headed by Dr. [[Kenneth Wapnick]], the sole living individual of the three persons involved in the transcription and compilation of the now standardized [[A Course In Miracles]] (or “ACIM”) . (The other two individuals, both deceased, were Dr. [[Helen Schucman]] and Dr. [[William Thetford]].) The organization is also staffed by Gloria Wapnick, Kenneth's wife, who is also a member of its Board of Directors.

Since its initial inception in 1983, the teaching structure of FACIM has evolved into its current format in which daytime lectures are provided, which may last from 90 minute presentations, on up to five consecutive days. Living accommodations for students during these longer presentations are no longer provided by FACIM, as the residential aspect of the format is no longer a part of the presentation format. FACIM also provides an online ''Electronic Outreach'' program, which includes an online question and answer service.
