CAP is here to serve and equip your church so that you can demonstrate God’s love in action for your local community.
If you’ve got a heart to bring hope and good news to your community, we can provide the training and resources for your church to run one of our CAP services: whether that’s helping people get out of debt, find work, gain vital life skills or get to grips with their finances.
Take a look around our website to understand more about our church partnerships and hear the experience of some of our current partners. When you’re ready to find out more, our team is on hand to chat and answer any questions you and your church might have. This is a no commitment conversation, just a chance to get to know you and understand how we can help, whether that’s through a partnership, or by resourcing and supporting you in other ways.
Once you’ve settled on the right option for your community, we’ll help you to identify the right people to pioneer your CAP ministry and walk you through the practical partnership process. We can also provide advice and guidance on some of the common hurdles that churches encounter when getting a new project off the ground, such as funding and promotion.
The final step is training and inspiring your team to deliver practical, life-transforming services in your local community, hand-in-hand with sharing the love and hope of Jesus. You’ll be set up on our systems, equipped with professional resources, and connected with those at CAP who will continue to support you and your church throughout your partnership with us.
A partnership with CAP provides churches with practical resources to bring hope to their local communities. We can equip churches to help people become debt free, manage their money, find employment or learn practical life skills. At the heart of it all is Jesus’ love, transforming thousands of lives every year through thriving churches.
As part of the partnership process, we will help you explore the needs of your church and community and discern which CAP partnership option, if any, is right for you. Alongside learning from you and your church, a few factors that we can help you explore are:
We don’t want finance to be a barrier to any church who has a passion to see the lives of those in debt and poverty transformed in their community. If you’re concerned that the cost of partnering could be a challenge for your church, please do get in touch as we can support you with advice and guidance on fundraising methods and opportunities.
It’s important that you have the right team in place to help your CAP service thrive. This includes those trained by CAP to deliver the practical guidance, and those who are offering additional support through prayer, befriending, or administration.
As part of your partnership journey, we will support you in identifying the right person for the role and then guide them through the process of discerning, applying and training. Advice will also be given on how you can engage your wider church in the brilliant volunteering opportunities presented by a CAP service.
CAP provides all of the training that your church members need to deliver an excellent, professional service in your community. No existing expertise is needed, just a heart to serve those in need and a passion for sharing the good news of Jesus.
Initial training typically takes place online, with self-led, flexible elements and some live content. Once your service is up and running, we’ll continue to support your team with ongoing development opportunities, from new resources, to webinars, conferences and more.

In the last nine years that our centre’s been running we’ve been able to help somewhere between eight and 900 families in our local community who are struggling with debt.
Been amazing, the inroads that’s given us, not just with individuals, but also the reputation that we’ve been able to build up with local agencies we work with, with the council, with other people in our local area.
For us as a church, it’s been one of the best things that we’ve ever done. If you’re thinking about it, I want to encourage you to look at it in detail and really consider going for it.
Our friendly team is here to chat and answer any questions you and your church might have. No pressure, just a helpful conversation to explore the needs of your church and community and how we can help.
