CAP Money is a budgeting course that teaches financial skills that have a lasting impact. With its focus on practical tools and coaching, it’s a great way to start conversations and connect with people in your community. Best of all, CAP Money is one of the cheapest options available to churches.
"It was the best thing I'd ever done...
I'm not afraid anymore." - Ruby
How does CAP Money work?
It's a simple budgeting course you offer in your church.
​
Typically runs as three weekly sessions a couple of times a year.
Can be run in a group setting, by a benevolence team 1-1, in a coffee shop, as a stewardship course, for students, care nights, or marriage prep – the possibilities are endless!
​
We train your key volunteers to be CAP Money Coaches who facilitate the course in your context.
Run the course as many times in a year as you like.
We visit your church to launch our partnership and invite monthly supporters to join us as Life Changers (supporting the free Debt Relief work we do that's so critical for people in financial distress).
How is CAP Money different from other budgeting courses?
CAP meets the needs of everyone, especially those living on the poverty line by being relevant, short, and free to attend.
Financial Peace or Total Money Makeover sessions are longer and have an approach that alienates the vulnerable.
Wealth/Financial Advisors help people steward money and can provide tailored advice and support.

How is CAP Money a missional opportunity?
​
Everyone could use tools for managing their money. Many have never learned how to put together a simple budget, make it balance, or put away savings for a rainy day.
CAP Money is a missional opportunity for your church to provide these simple, practical tools for free to not only your church family, but your wider community. Not only is it a practical tool, but a chance to build relationships that lead to faith conversations and evangelism opportunities.

Thousands of Canadians have done the CAP Money Course, and we know it works. Run the course with confidence that you're providing a much-needed tool that will change lives.
