Mission and Vision

Our vision is creating conversations between Christianity and culture.

We want to inspire individual Christians to grow in their faith and to feel confident in talking to other people about Christ. We want to encourage people who are exploring Christianity for the very first time to delve deeply into it. And we want to help people outside the Church to question their beliefs and to see the continuing relevance of Christianity.

We are committed to sharing innovative Christian thinking to enable people of all backgrounds to increase their understanding of the Christian faith.

This is a big aim, but we have some big numbers to back it up:

• each year, we sell half a million books and apps;
• our books have been translated into 88 languages;
• we have 50,000 web visitors every month.

We may be a small charity, but we have been hugely successful at reaching across boundaries – whether geographical, social or linguistic – to transform people’s lives.

SPCK is an award-winning publisher. At the Christian Resources Together Awards 2021, we were awarded Best Publisher of the Year and several of our titles received awards. Including, the Bible Reference award for The New Testament in its World by NT Wright & Michael Bird, the Bible award for The NIV Bible Speaks Today, and the Biography/Memoir award for Closing Ranks by Leroy Logan.

The Bible Book by Book by Cris Rogers won the Bible Reference Award at the Christian Resources Together Awards in 2022!

We're also making great strides in the digital space too!

These include our Assemblies website, the go-to online resource for teachers wishing to provide a thought-provoking time of spiritual reflection in the busy school day. It is a bank of more than 1,600 assembly scripts that’s being added to every month! All these resources are free to access, free to download and free to use. SPCK was instrumental in setting up Church of England primary schools in the UK and it is still making a difference in schools today!

As well as our Homegroups website, the first online hub for resources for home groups. An essential part of active church communities, small groups are often where many Christians develop long-lasting friendships. By creating a reliable bank of study materials, we will empower all leaders, regardless of training, to lead inspiring Bible studies with confidence.

This success is entirely due to the huge range of skills and talents among our staff, trustees and partners. As well as our dedication to follow our values.

Our values are:

Significant - We strive for our products to help people of all ages and from all nations to know Jesus better.

Passionate - We bring enthusiasm and pride to every project and partnership, focusing relentlessly on achieving great quality and great outcomes. 

Creative - We encourage everyone to have the freedom to innovate and be bold in their ideas so that our products can stand out in a competitive marketplace. 

Journey with us and our partners as we continue our growth towards reaching a million people every month.

None of our work would be possible without the dedicated support of our partners, members and donors. For two thirds of the people who donate to SPCK, agreement with our mission and vision played an important role in their decision to start giving.
