Our History

Capstone Church began with 17 people in 2002 who were led by God to plant a church in Anderson, SC that would connect with the disconnected, the marginalized, the lost, and the unloved to demonstrate God’s love, acceptance, and invitation. The church met in homes, parks, schools, and a movie theater before 2009 when Central Baptist Church voted to merge with Capstone, giving the property at 708 W Whitner St as a permanent location for worship, ministry training, and refuge for those in need.

Capstone Church seeks to strike a balance with a geographical ministry responsibility in the center of the city and encourage each attendee to be the missionary where they live. Capstone Church has people from all walks of life, a wide generational spectrum, many college students, a diverse ethnic composition, and more than 75 % that are not from the area. We are aliens and strangers but still family together.

We partner with many local churches and organizations to love our community. We also support worldwide missions and the Lottie Moon Christmas offering, which supports missionaries worldwide through the South Baptist Church. We believe that mission is not what you do; it’s who you are.
