Capitol Baptist Church is an independent Baptist church located in Dover, Delaware's Capital City. The church began in June 1965 when two Air Force families began meeting in their homes. The church then met in a home purchased by the young congregation for 2 years. Easter Sunday 1968 found the congregation moving into a building that was constructed the previous year, mostly with volunteer labor. In the Fall of 1971 a christian school began as part of the ministry. The first phase of an educational building was opened in the Fall of 1972. The second phase was begun in 1976. For decades, our church has strived to maintain an emphasis on preaching, evangelism, discipleship, missions, conservative music and strong families.
At Capitol Baptist Church, though we have one message-the message of the Lord Jesus Christ, and one ministry-the ministry He has given us to go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature, we have many ministries as a means of accomplishing this goal.
Located in central Delaware, in Kent County, Capitol Baptist is easily accessible from all directions. We are located less than 15 miles from the Maryland state line and just minutes from Dover Air Force Base. Several families from Maryland and from the Air Force base attend our church.
As an independent Baptist church, we are an autonomous congregation. We are self- governing and self-supporting. The head of the church is the Lord Jesus Christ. The Bible is our sole authority for faith and practice. It is our desire to be a truly New Testament church.

Be a Five-Star Christian:
A great church is made up of strong Christians and strong Christian families.
Read God’s Word
The Bible says, “Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God.” Reading the Bible is vital to the Christian life. As we read the Bible, we should search the Scriptures, comparing Scripture with Scripture. Also, set a goal to memorize Scripture and meditate on the Word of God. In our personal lives and with our families each day, we need to be reading the Word of God.
Pray
We believe that God hears and answers prayer. There is no doubt about it, the greatest untapped resource in the Christian life is the matter of prayer. Pray each day. Pray for loved ones. Pray for church leaders and their families. Pray for your church. Pray for our nation. Pray for the lost. Establish a prayer list. Pray.
Attend Church Faithfully
The Lord Jesus Christ deserves your faithfulness. Attend every service of the church. A great deal of the strength of the church is based on the faithfulness of the people. Support special meetings at the church with your faithful attendance.

Give
God’s work is to be supported God’s way. The Bible teaches that we should pay the tithe and give our offerings. Practice tithing as a conviction. Bring the Lord's tithe with you to church each Sunday. Support the ministries of the church with offerings. By faith give to worldwide missions. Support the Christian education endeavors of the church. We cannot outgive God.
Witness to the Lost
Our Lord Jesus Christ came to seek and to save that which was lost. He left us on earth to tell others about the Savior. Determine to bring others to the Savior. Work to bring other families to Christ and to the church. Set a time to go. Make a list of names and addresses of people you want to reach for Christ.
Determine to Be a Five-Star Christian
