The Parish of St Philip Neri in Pimlico is hoping it'll help buck the nationwide trend of falling church attendances.
Earlier this year the Church of England announced the number of people attending its services across the country had fallen below one million for the first time.
A number of churches are now trying out different methods to draw people in
Speaking to Premier, Revd Aprilis Prima who's used similar 'free gift' initiatives in his homeland Poland explained how this came together.
He said: "Our church had a fundraising day earlier this year and the PCC has been looking at ways to add to our congregation size.
"We know it's getting harder and harder to get new people in so thought the free gift might help.
"Our only concern is the current church members using disguises to get a free iPad."
Premier understands the Church of England is watching closely to the effectiveness of the initiative and has already held talks with Apple as to whether they may be able to negotiate a deal to see this rolled out across the country.
