Ministry
Many of the house shows and major events for CPW have raised money for charity causes. House shows and events often take donations such as socks, blankets, and jackets and give the collections to local homeless shelters.

CPW house shows are not restricted to "Christian friendly" venues such as churches and parochial schools, as typical pro-wrestling venues such as sports arenas and fraternal order halls and non-traditional venues such as roller skating rinks have long been considered ministry opportunities. Typically the wrestlers do not preach to the crowds, instead they "let the storylines carry the message to the fans." The CPW's storylines' general standard was explained by founder Thomas D. Patrick as "...if you see through the kayfabe and ponder what they're saying, you'll hear the hope that they're looking for. But you're not going to come to a CPW house show and see hardcore wrestlers beating each other with Bibles."
