We also offer regular “New Attenders Gathering where you can meet all our staff in a casual setting.

What denomination are you?

We are a Free Methodist Congregation.  The Free Methodist Church Denomination was founded in 1860.  Before we go any further, a lot of questions about the Free Methodist church and denomination can be answered by visiting; https://fmcusa.org

The Free Methodist Church is a global denomination with far more than a million members, and organized structures and ministry in 82 nations.

Q & A:

What are Free Methodist churches like?  Really, they vary quite a bit with both large and small congregations.  Worship styles vary as well with some that are more liturgical, while others are very casual.  Music ranges from hymns to the most rockin’ of contemporary choruses.  In all of them, however, you will find a faithful proclamation of the Bible, revered as God’s Holy Word.

What do Free Methodist’s believe? The short answer is, classic, orthodox Christian faith in the Wesleyan/Arminian tradition.  We would be similar in theology to, say the Wesleyan Church, the Nazarene Church, the Evangelical Church of North America and other denominations of the Wesleyan/holiness tradition.

How are Free Methodist churches structured? Pastors of FM churches are not members of the local church, but instead are members of the Annual Conference and are appointed to local churches by the Annual Conference leadership in conjunction with local church input. At the same time, local churches are governed by an elected Board of Administration, so local church leadership is shared by an appointed pastor and elected laity.

Cape Coral Community Church is multi-racial and consists of people from nearly every denominational background whose ultimate authority is the written Word of God.  Our focus is on being a place where anyone can become more like Christ, as we live life, enjoying God together.

Do you have a mid-week service?

We do not have in person mid-week services at this time.

How can I meet others and get connected?

There are several ways to get connected at Cape Coral Community Church. First, we encourage you to come a few minutes early for service on Sunday mornings.

We also have community groups, events, and Next Step classes to help you get acquainted with the community.
