Church Partnerships Trust
Church Partnerships Trust is a Christian charity within HTB Group that helps churches and Christian congregations across the UK access church buildings and other spaces in which to worship, grow and serve their communities. Working alongside church leaders, denominations, landlords and property owners, Church Partnerships Trust identifies church buildings for sale, and matches them with congregations. These buildings are then purchased by CPT and leased on to congregations, providing spaces for them to worship in and grow their ministries, and securing the buildings as places of Christian worship.
