It’s not OK to be alone in financial distress.

What is it?

CAP Australia is a Christian charity that believes no Australian should live in financial distress, and so is equipping a movement of churches to walk alongside those in financial distress while confidently proclaiming Jesus.

Catalyst Church has partnered with CAP, Australia's largest FREE 'to your door' money mentorship, to establish a Debt Centre for the Ipswich Region.

What does it look like?

CAP Money Mentors receive training from CAP to offer general financial information.  The goal of being a Money Mentor is to empower those in financial distress with the skills and knowledge that will allow them to: 

• Better understand their current financial situation. 
• Manage their day-to-day expenses, including paying bills and putting food on the table. 
• Build resilience to financial shocks, including saving money, managing credit, and getting out of debt.
