SUPPORT CHURCHES IN THEIR OUTREACH

When you use CPO you help strengthen The Church

Churches get to change the way people perceive Christians and the church. We want to 'raise the bar' on communications for every church in every community. We want to see the Church grow and the gospel communicated clearly and relevantly so that lives are transformed: and giving the Church the right tools helps it to flourish. Your support and prayers enable this to happen.

What could be done with your support?

CPO is a charity that only exists to serve the Church, to help God's people share the amazing good news in a way that changes lives. Although we sell resources to churches via this shop, these simply do not cover the full cost of providing them as cheaply, quickly and professionally as you need. The costs of production mean there is a growing gap. And there is far more we'd like to do:

• develop video training resources on church communications
• create innovative new outreach resources which we know churches could use
• subsidise resources for churches in most financial need
• see every church in the UK trained in communications, with a good website, with good outreach resources

Right now, help with moving costs would really help us take the next step towards this

Part of making sure we're fit for purpose and stewarding our funds is reviewing what we have. Our facility in Worthing which has served us wonderfully is now very tired and too big for our needs. So we're selling up and moving house! God has provided an idea new place locally which will stand us in good stead for serving churches into the future, but, like any moving, it can be a long and pricey process with twists and turns. We want to move at our quietest time of year so there's no disruption to our work. Long term this will release funds for ministry, but right now we need practical help with the moving cost.

We would love for our new premises to be somewhere we can welcome churches, print resources more efficiently and with higher quality than every before, and somewhere that engenders creativity, new thinking and new ways of working that benefit all of the thousands of churches we serve each year. A gift could mean:

• instead of paying to move old equipment, taking the opportunity for smaller, better machines which enable churches to receive something that is better, cheaper, and higher quality
• instead of trying to fit big old desks in, making more room for people, by taking the opportunity for simple new ones that fit
• instead of creating a factory and offices, creating a welcoming space for churches with a reception area, training space and decent coffee

Would you consider a gift to help us move into the next stage?

We are so grateful for all God has given us - but we have learned that we need the help and support of others as we move into a new stage of helping every UK church with their communications in a digital age. We know we need those who care as much as us about church communication and outreach. And we know all the money goes directly to serving local churches as they reach out to their communities. Would you consider investing in this?
