The Church Periodical Club, often referred to as CPC, is an independent, affiliated organization of the Executive Council of the Episcopal Church in the United States of America that is dedicated to the world-wide Ministry of the Word. The Church Periodical Club began in 1888 when a small group of women began sending bundles of church periodicals, prayer books and Bibles on Wells Fargo stage coaches to missionaries in the west. Delivery systems have changed but not the commitment to supplying theological and educational materials in support of the mission efforts around the world. Today the Church Periodical Club continues to provide free Prayer Books, textbooks, Bibles, and periodicals to deserving recipients throughout the Anglican Communion.
