Capo Beach Church

What Capo Beach Church does

Capo Beach Church is a 501(c)(3) non-profit evangelical church headquartered at 25975 Domingo Ave, Capistrano Beach, California, serving a multi-generational congregation in South Orange County. It operates three Sunday worship services at 8:00, 9:30, and 11:00am in the Sanctuary, supplemented by an online livestream and a YouTube sermon archive. The church runs an extensive programmatic ecosystem organized by life stage — Capo Kids Nursery (ages 0-4), Capo Kids Church (K-5), Straight Up Middle School, Red Door High School, The Well Young Adult Group (ages 18-30), Men's and Women's Ministries, The Bridge recovery ministry, MomCo., and ancillary ministries such as Care, Discipleship, Missions, and Prayers and Squares. Congregation size is not disclosed, but the church supports 38+ staff across pastoral, worship, production, facilities/security, café and bookstore, and preschool functions.

The church's commercial activity is concentrated in two revenue streams: voluntary tithes and offerings collected during services and via the Church Center online giving platform (with cryptocurrency donations accepted via Coinbase Commerce), and recurring preschool tuition from CBC Preschool, a Christ-centered early childhood program for children ages 2-6 offering Preschool, Pre-K, and Junior Kindergarten classes. Tuition is structured as a subscription model with half-day ($399–$745/month) and full-day ($485–$845/month) tiers, plus registration fees of $100 (summer) to $275 (fall). The preschool is reported at full capacity year after year and draws families from six South Orange County cities — San Clemente, Dana Point, Capo Beach, San Juan Capistrano, Laguna Niguel, and Mission Viejo.

The church's underlying technology stack is composed of best-in-class vertical SaaS tools rather than proprietary systems: The Church Co. CMS for the website and content management, Church Center for event registration and giving, Planning Center for staff operations, Paylocity for payroll, and Coinbase Commerce for crypto donations. Distribution combines a single integrated physical campus hosting all programming with an online channel for livestream and asynchronous sermon access. Go-to-market is event-driven (Sunday services, retreats, youth trips, Bible studies, preschool enrollment) and relies heavily on personal invitation and word-of-mouth, supplemented by email newsletters (The Capo Catch Up and The Weekly Word), YouTube, and Instagram. The church is led by Lead Pastor Matt Whitlock and Executive Pastor Brandon Brickley.

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Mariners Church: Large evangelical church in Irvine, CA serving the same Orange County market with comparable ministry breadth (children, youth, recovery) and an in-house early-education program. Significantly larger scale and multi-site presence make it a broad incumbent rather than direct same-size peer.
• Saddleback Church: Iconic Southern California evangelical megachurch with multiple campuses, age-specific ministries, and a similar congregational model. Same denomination tradition and same regional draw but at materially greater scale, positioning it as a broad incumbent.
• North Point Community Church: Large Atlanta-area evangelical multi-site church known for age-stratified ministries and online content distribution. Significantly larger but represents a similar strategic approach to family-segment ministry programming.

Direct peers

• North Coast Church: Multi-campus evangelical church in North San Diego County with comparable ministry ecosystem (kids, youth, young adults, recovery) and similar staffing depth. Closest same-size peer in Southern California with overlapping demographic appeal.
• Christ Fellowship Church: South Florida evangelical multi-campus church with a comparable ministry ecosystem (kids, students, young adults, special needs, recovery) and an in-house preschool model. Similar scale and programmatic breadth.
• CrossPoint Church: Mid-size evangelical multi-site church operating in the Midwest with a similar ministry breadth across kids, students, and adults. Comparable staffing scale and operational model make it a relevant same-size peer.
• Watermark Church: Evangelical church in Plano, TX with a comparable multi-generational ministry model, dedicated children's and youth staff, and small-group-driven discipleship approach. Similar organizational philosophy around serving members across life stages.
• Bayside Church: Multi-site evangelical church in the Sacramento region with parallel ministry structure (kids, youth, young adults, men's/women's) and strong community-engagement programming. Similar mid-size multi-campus operating model makes it a strong comparable.
• Rock Church: San Diego-based evangelical multi-campus church with comparable ministry breadth (children, youth, young adults, recovery) and broadcast-focused outreach. Same Southern California regional context and similar demographic targeting.

Others
