About Capshaw
God has seen fit to call together this assembly that we call Capshaw Baptist Church in order to exalt His son, Jesus Christ - the One whose death and resurrection gives us peace with God and the hope of heaven. You will find that the person and work of Jesus Christ is the common thread that runs through every ministry and expression of worship at Capshaw.

about the staff at Capshaw.
At the age of nineteen Zach Terry heard the Gospel while channel surfing through a local Christian radio station and was haunted by it's truth until he came to full repentance in faith in Jesus Christ.
In 2008 Zach became Senior Pastor of the Capshaw Baptist Church. Since that time Capshaw has baptized nearly 300 people and has grown from an average weekly attendance of 425 to over 900 people and the growth continues.
Zach is committed to verse by verse, expository preaching. He views the local church as a missionary outpost that is commissioned to win people to Christ both locally and globally.

I spent the first dozen years or so of my career in sales and marketing before the Lord called me into full-time service for Him. Before calling our family to Capshaw Baptist Church, I have had the honor of serving the Lord in churches in Kentucky and Tennessee in Education and Leadership roles. My greatest joy and passion is helping God-called men and women in the body of Christ to soar to new heights in their personal walk with God and to fulfill the great commission of Jesus Christ by sharing their faith and discipling new believers. I also love to help leaders to grow and thrive in their area of ministry and to raise up new leaders throughout the church body for the glory of God! I have been married to Leslie-my partner in the ministry, best friend, and dearest soul mate-for fifteen years. Also, God has blessed us with three precious children. I love serving at Capshaw and am sitting on the edge of my seat to see what wonderful things the Lord will do in His church in the days to come!

I grew up in Tuscaloosa, AL for the first 20 years of my life, and then moved up north for the next 10ish years. I'm thanking God daily that He's moved me back to Bama to serve Him at Capshaw and to tell all the teens of this community about how ridiculously awesome Jesus is. We're going for the most fun, exciting, rocking, relational, real, and deep student ministry possible. Come check us out!

It is a joy to serve with you in the Rocket City Children's Ministry! I have a passion for
seeing children come to know Jesus as their Savior and Lord. It is my heart's desire to help
children fully understand what it means to walk in obedience to Christ.
I moved here to Huntsville over 7 years ago from the Washington DC area. I graduated
from Word of Life Bible Institute and attended Tennessee Temple University where I
majored in Christian Education, with an emphasis in Children's Ministries. After a few years
in corporate America, God began to stir in my heart to serve Him in full time ministry.
I spent two years traveling with Life Action Ministries as a singer and working with the
children and youth. I also served on staff at Immanuel Bible Church in Springfield, VA.
I welcome the opportunity to share with you all the exciting things happening in the
Capshaw Children's Ministry!
