Capstone Church Gathering (COVID-19)

We have all obviously been impacted by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. Among the many changes we’ve seen to our daily lives has been our inability to gather together as a church in person. As we look forward to and prepare for returning to some form of regular on-campus ministry, we want to do so with gracious caution and compassion. In addition to prayer and consultation with a variety of experts, we also believe it’s important to hear input from you, our faith family.

We would ask for each adult attender of Capstone to complete this short survey, which should take you no more than 5 minutes. Please only take this survey once. All responses are confidential, and we appreciate your open and honest feedback. The results of this survey will help inform the steps we take toward gathering again.
