It operates under the leadership of John Hagee, founder and chairman, along with Diana Hagee and Shari Dollinger, co-executive directors.

"Christians United for Israel" was established in 1975 by Dr. David A. Lewis. Evangelical minister John Hagee sought and received permission from Lewis to use the title for his organization. It has operated out of San Antonio, Texas.

The first college chapter of Christians United for Israel was established at California State University, Bakersfield. CUFI on Campus reported 200 established chapters nationwide with an active presence on over 300 campuses.

CUFI hosts "Nights to Honor Israel" events in cities across the United States to express Christian solidarity with the State of Israel and the Jewish people. CUFI holds an annual summit to enable delegates to speak personally with their representatives on behalf of Israel. In response to current events, CUFI also mobilizes its members through Rapid Response Alerts to raise popular support for Israel and lobby the U.S. Congress.

Daughters for Zion is a Christian prayer ministry that is part of the Christians United for Israel Organization (CUFI).

CUFI's support of Israel holds that the modern state of Israel has a central role in bringing about the second coming of Jesus Christ. It believes that God will bless those who bless the Jews and curse those who curse the Jews. It claims that the Christian faith couldn't exist without the foundation of Judaism. CUFI partners with Jewish interfaith organizations such as the Center for Jewish-Christian Understanding and Cooperation (CJCUC).

Hagee has attracted controversy over his comments on the Catholic Church, Jewish people, and Islam and his promotion of the blood moon prophecy.

In 2008, Hagee claimed that the anti-Christ would be "a homosexual" and "partially Jewish, as was Adolf Hitler," and he suggested that God willed the Holocaust because most Jews "ignored" Herzl.
