CAP is here to serve and equip your church so that you can demonstrate God’s love in action for your local community. 

How your church can be involved

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.

Our partnership with CAP has literally transformed our impact in Woking. Our CAP courses are helping people make huge changes in their lives.

The power of partnership

God is bringing about transformation across the UK through local churches in partnership with CAP.

Changing communities

Churches are offering hope and equipping people with the tools to overcome debt and poverty. Partnering with local churches like yours means that together we can provide practical, emotional and spiritual support that completely changes lives.

Changing churches

As you seek to transform the lives of those in your community, we will support you and your church, helping you to grow new leaders, upskill your congregation and ensuring your CAP service complements your existing ministries and activities.

Changing society

A person having​‘just enough’ to live on shouldn’t satisfy our hunger for justice. So, through the collective power of our passionate church partners, we can champion change and seek a society where all are able to thrive.
