Capstone Church

HISTORY:capstonelogo

Capstone Church is the vision of Chris Barrineau.  Chris was a student pastor in Fountain Inn at Trinity United Methodist Church.  The Lord placed a burden on his heart to see something new in this small traditional town.  Not knowing what the next step was Chris began to pray about starting a new church in Fountain Inn.

You may be asking: “If Capstone was Chris’ idea why are you the Lead Pastor?”  I ask myself that all the time!  LOL  Chris and I had grown very close over the years as allies in Student Ministry.  Chris shared his vision with me and we both begin to pray with our families about starting a different kind of church to reach different kinds of people.  

In March of 2008 at a beach retreat with our wives we came up with the name Capstone Church from Psalm 118.  From then on it was no turning back.  I resigned from my position as Student Pastor at my church and my wife resign as a law clerk.  We sold our house and packed up our three month old baby to move into Chris’ Guest House.  The rest is history. [Chris is the EXECUTIVE PASTOR at Capstone - my boss - and the Activities Director for the city of Fountain Inn]

Mission:

You can get the low down on our mission and vision at our website: www.capstonechurch.net.  There you find all of our information about who we are and what God has called us to do.  Capstone is not just another church.  Capstone doesn’t exist for those inside the walls, but those who are on the outside and don’t know the Savior – Jesus Christ.

  1. I hope all is well with your family:) I will be praying for your new church. My mom told me she saw you at Rocky Creek. We are still living in the Phoenix area. We plan to come home for Christmas. We should get a group together for dinner. Have a great week.
    God Bless,
