The site of its municipal council is the town of Christiansfeld. Its mayor is Jørgen From, a member of the Venstre (Liberal Party) political party.

By January 1, 2007 Christiansfeld municipality will cease to exist due to Kommunalreformen ("The Municipality Reform" of 2007). Bjerning, Hjerndrup, Fjelstrup and Bevtoft parishes of Christiansfeld municipality will be merged with existing Gram, Haderslev and Vojens municipalities to form the new Haderslev municipality. The remainder of the municipality with be merged into the new Kolding municipality.
