The village of Capac was in existence for only about five years when Pastor Hicks, of whom little is known, organized a Methodist Protestant Church Society in February, 1862 in the midst of the Civil War period. The earliest meeting place was a pioneer schoolhouse located on the site of the former Duane Martin home on East Church Street. A few years later, the meeting place moved for a time to the Federated Church, which was located at the present site of the Baptist Church. On July 6, 1880, this property was sold to the Baptists for the sum of $350. The Methodist Protestant congregation consequently purchased the pioneer schoolhouse and, with Rev. Gee as pastor, conducted dedicatory services on November 13, 1880. This building was used for worship until the church on West Mill Street was completed in 1882. Judge D.C. Walker, founder of the village of Capac, donated the land on West Mill Street for the construction of a brick church and parsonage building.

This brick building served the congregation for the next three decades. The highlight of this period occurred in August, 1902, when the Michigan Annual Conference of the denomination was held in the Capac church; the only time in history such an event was held here. This occurred during the pastorate of the Rev. W.C. Harger, one of the early prominent men of the Conference. The Conference President was Rev. John W. Gray, who was also a former pastor of the local church.

The modern era of the church began under the pastoral leadership of Dr. William Cole, who oversaw the construction of the present larger church building. The cornerstone is dated 1911.

The dedication service of the new church was held on June 8, 1912. A proud possession of the new church is its beautiful Hinners pipe organ. At the time of its installation, it was rated as the finest in any church in a town of this size in Michigan, and one of the finest instruments north of Detroit and Adrian, whose college chapel had one of the greatest organs of the Midwest.

The year 1950 marked the complete renovation of the sanctuary. A new divided chancel, new lighting, redecoration in soft pastel tones of the sanctuary, and renovation of the Sunday School and social rooms was accomplished at that time. In 1962, the church celebrated its 100th anniversary of worship in Capac. A special celebration was held to mark this historic event.

With the arrival of the twenty-first century, a major task was undertaken in the restoration of the nearly thirty stain glass windows throughout the church. This was a building wide project that encompassed the disassembly, cleaning, re-leading, and reinstallation of the beautiful large windows. Protective lexiglass coverings were also placed on the outside for the further protection of the stain glass from the outside elements. When completed, the sanctuary was repainted. In 2009 a major renovation was undertaken in the basement with a complete remodeling.

In September, 2012, the Church held its 150th anniversary with a wonderful catered meal and music provided by the talented Michigan trio the Gospelmen. It was a great celebration! The ownership of the church building was transferred in November, 2017, to Capac Bible Church to begin a new era of continuing worship and service in the community. We extend a warm welcome and invite you to be a part of this historic church!
