We have a trust that focuses on transforming family life, an accounting and payroll service available to churches and church-related charitable trusts, and a bank that exists to see churches and charities thrive.
Our goal is to give vulnerable families the opportunity to transform their family life for good. We are committed to seeing families freed from long-term damage that negatively affects the next generation.
CATAS provides a range of cost-effective accounting and payroll services to churches and church-related charitable trusts throughout New Zealand.
We exist to see Christian churches and charities throughout our nation thrive, and to give everyday New Zealanders the opportunity to grow their investments while also building the Kingdom of God in Aotearoa.
