Leaving a legacy to CPAS in your will
making disciples, developing leaders, growing churches
about CPAS is an Anglican evangelical mission agency, working with churches across the UK and Republic of Ireland.
Our mission and vision CPAS enables churches to help every person hear and discover the good news of Jesus Christ. We long to see a Christ-centred, Bible-based, mission-focused Church, and will work towards this vision with a focus on developing leaders of all types in local churches.
Our history For more than 175 years, CPAS has enabled local church mission across the UK and Republic of Ireland. Ever since CPAS was founded in 1836 with a vision to bring ‘the gospel to every man’s door’, our work has been focused on helping grow local churches.
Our work today By leaving a gift to CPAS in your will we can continue our essential kingdom ministry, focusing on these three key areas: Partnering with CPAS enables the development of leaders at all levels, so that local churches can reach more men, women and young people with the good news of Jesus. Our leadership work includes the Arrow Leadership Programme and Growing Leaders suite of courses and books. Venture holidays are life-changing holidays for 8-18s. Each year thousands of young people enjoy new experiences, make life-long friends, explore the Bible and discover more about Jesus. Falcon Camps, also Christian residential holidays for children and young people, are heavily subsidised for people from disadvantaged backgrounds. As patron to more than 500 benefices nationwide, we seek to fill vacant parishes with incumbents who have a heart for the gospel are committed to seeing people won for Christ and built up in the faith.
