Although it only joined the SPCK family in 1996, APCK (the Association for Promoting Christian Knowledge) has been active in Ireland since 1792. It is linked to the church of Ireland but independent from it. APCK acts as a publisher for the Church of Ireland, and produces a small number of new books and pamphlets each year as well as the Churches Book of Common Prayer and other liturgical publication.
APCK has bookshops in Dublin and Belfast, the latter having recently been expanded and relocated. A mail order service also operates to all parts of Ireland.

Established in 1976, SPCKA has also focused primarily on raising funds to support a grants programme. In recent years close links have developed with the Australian Christian Literature Society, an organisation with similar aims but drawing its support from slightly different constituency. Indeed at present General Secretary of SPCKA is also the General Director of ACLS.

SPCK-USA was established in 1983 to raise money and support its own grant programme mirroring that of SPCK itself. Based at the University of the South in Sewanee, it raises some $2,50,000 per annum and supports both projects generated by itself and others identified and monitored by SPCK, London. One of SPCK/USAs major initiative has been the development of the Adopt-a-seminar Scheme,
whereby donated second hand technology books are carefully selected and offered to theological colleges and seminars throughout the world.
