Who we are
The Pais Movement is a global non-denominational organization that creates partnerships between schools, community projects, businesses and churches.
Paul Clayton Gibbs founded the organization which has grown from being one single team pioneering a work in Manchester in 1992 to becoming a global enterprise with teams and headquarters on six continents.Its first team outside of Europe was launched in the U.S.A. in 2002. Over the next several years to present there have been teams planted in over 13 nations worldwide.

What we provide
The Pais Movement motto is “missionaries making missionaries’.
Pais provides free apprenticeships in youth leadership ministry including training, accommodation and meals. Multiple courses are available on 6 continents. Qualification options in Applied Theology are also available.
Pais also provides worldwide resources and has launched various initiatives to promote what is known as its “three distinctives” in the area of mission, discipleship and study.

Who we serve
Churches: Pais offers two main ways to serve churches:

1. By providing full-time Pais apprentices for youth ministry, or local church or business outreach.
2. Training in our distinctive methods of mission, discipleship, study.

Schools: Pais provides a team of 3-5 apprentices for an entire school year completely free of charge. Each week they are available to serve the school, connecting with students as positive role models and emphasizing school values.

Businesses: Pais provides Kingdom minded entrepreneurs that work as an integral part of a business. In addition to running Pais programs for the employees and community outreaches, Pais apprentices lead innovative Bible studies and workshops.

Resources: By means of coaching, consultation and conferences Pais provide all the resources necessary to implement effective strategies in our 3 distinctives. Through books, podcasts, videos and mentoring, Pais advises on the principles necessary to grow the church and increase its effectiveness within the church community.

Pais is an international faith based organization and our broad Faith statement allows us to work with many partners and church denominations.
