Partnership Development Managers (PDM) are motivated and driven to broaden and deepen CAP's relationship with the church to fulfil CAPs Purpose, Vision & Mission.

Purpose Statement

To inspire and equip churches across the UK to help people out of debt andpoverty and invite them to become followers of Jesus.

Mission

No one should face debt and poverty alone:  The steadfast presence of a local church, ready to walk alongside you during the toughest financial storms.

Our aim is that when a vulnerable person who needs our type of face to face help is experiencing financial crisis or vulnerability, there will be a church in their community that is ready to walk alongside them. That church will offer steadfast support as they restore their financial resilience and hope for the future whilst  introducing them to the fullness of life that Jesus offers.

This work isn't just about helping people get out of debt and poverty; it's about seeing lives radically changed. We are driven by a passion to see people not only find financial freedom, thriving in life, but also become followers of Jesus and find a true sense of belonging in a local church.
