Our Church

It wasn't too long ago that a small group of 11 islanders decided they needed a non-denominational church in which to gather and worship. It was a beautiful Sunday Morning on November 13, 1977 when Capri Christian Church met in the Capri Community Center Building. There were 11 people that first day. A rather simple but complete service, including communion, marked that first meeting. The rest is a an on-going history.

Our Purpose

Making a Difference Together

Together on Sundays, we give God His glory through the fellowship of the believers, the teaching from His Word, and the Lord’s Supper. Individually during the weekdays, we serve in our communities showing people who God is by the way we love others.

Vision: GO>SHARE>IMPACT>

Our goal is to fulfill the command of Jesus to…

“go out and make disciples, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit and teaching them to obey all the commands I have taught you“.

We do this because we love God who loves us so much more than we can ever imagine and we want you to know His love for you.

Kathy Ragland

Children's Minister Coordinator

Kathy has been a devoted member of Capri Christian Church for many years, alongside her husband, John. When the church began searching for a Children’s/Youth Pastor, Kathy was invited to join a rotation of volunteers teaching in the Children’s Ministry on Sunday mornings. After prayerful consideration, she felt a strong calling to deepen her involvement. In response to this divine prompting, she approached our Pastoral Team to discuss taking on the role of coordinator for the Children’s Ministry, where she would oversee volunteer support, Sunday School programming, and special events.

Kathy excels in team-building and organization, and she lovingly embraces the title of “Children’s Ministry Grandma,” reflecting her nurturing spirit and dedication to fostering a warm, supportive environment for our young ones. Her passion for service and her ability to inspire others make her a valuable asset to our ministry and the entire church community.
