Why

As we have preached for over a decade the purpose of the church isn’t to exist for itself but to bring Glory to our Heavenly Fatherly. Many times, we can get self-consumed in our churches and forget the calling of the church to not only equip the saints through worship, prayer and fellowship but also to share, bless, and bring the Kingdom on Earth as it is in Heaven. This desire to make a Kingdom Investment in our community comes from A HOLY DISCONTENT. This just means that things are NOT the way they should be. Often we look around with binoculars asking who will fix the broken things around us. We decided to hold up a mirror and asked what can we, as the Capstone Family do in order to Bless our City WHILE we equip the saints. This holy discontent lead us to two things: We were Grieved and Burdened.

We’re Grieved
That so many in our community are stumbling around in the darkness in search of the Light of Christ with NO HOPE.
That there are needs in our community that we feel the church can and should meet.

We’re Burdened
To minister to more people within our city without them having to attend a Church Service
To have a redemptive impact in our culture through spiritual revival
To be faithful stewards of how God has blessed Capstone Church
To be seen as a place of hope and light instead of judgment and hypocrisy.

This Holy Discontent has led to what we believe is a Unique Opportunity. And YES we do see this as an opportunity. The idea of expansion here at 601 Fairview St isn’t a HAVE to but GET to. We think is unique because first and foremost we live in a Unique Place.

Unique Place | Fountain Inn, SC
•Fountain Inn is a tight-knit community full of rich history, family-focused and has limitless possibility
•Fountain Inn is one of the Fastest Growing mission fields in the upstate with many of those moving here are disconnected from church or have no relationship with Jesus Christ.
•The current City of Fountain Inn population (2022) is 11,000 and is estimated to grow to 15,000 by 2025. By 2030, Fountain Inn’s population could reach up to 20,000- almost doubling since 2020.

Unique Vision | Sending Capacity over Seating Capacity
•We are attracting and engaging people who are far from God or who have given up on church.
•We are focused on creating environments for the Lost Sheep while equipping the Ninety-Nine to be missionaries where we work, learn, live and play.
•We measure success by how our city is being transformed by the Gospel not our Sunday morning attendance.

Unique Strategy | Service and Sacrifice for our City
•Capstone’s passion has been to seek the welfare of the city and there we will find our welfare. When we bless our community. We will be blessed.
•Because Capstone believes in the power of The Church of Fountain Inn versus just one church, we seek The church of Fountain Inn to work together to reach every man, woman, and child.
•Our desire isn’t to create more space for more church people but to create a Community Center that serves as a HUB that blesses and serves our community.
