Donald McGregor, a Foursquare missionary to the Philippines then assigned to Calvary Foursquare Church in Sta. Shortly before this plan, a property had been purchased on F. Castillo St., Project 4 for the Bible College and denominational headquarters. The new church to be planted would share the same campus with these two other institutions. After the Bible College dormitory was constructed, the f
irst service of Capitol City Foursquare Church was held in the second floor apartment designated for staff housing. In attendance for this first service were two families from Project 4 and one family from Project 2, all formerly associated with Calvary Foursquare Church. There were also a handful of Bible students present. The pioneer pastors of the congregation were Rev. & Mrs. Donald McGregor and Rev. & Mrs. Marcelo Maghirang. That the McGregors and Maghirangs were also administrators of the college was a foreshadowing of the marriage between the new church and the Bible College, a marriage that would endure through the years. Soon after, in 1968, the congregation outgrew the apartment upstairs and moved to the newly constructed college chapel (now Squarebucks) which would be the home of CCFC for the next six years. Around 1972, Dr. & Mrs. William West, who had taken over the pastorate from the McGregors after the latter left the Philippines for good, felt the need to start a building program for the rapidly growing congregation. Groundbreaking ceremonies were immediately held on the site of the existing church, and construction commenced. The present church building was dedicated in April 1975 and has been the permanent home of Capitol City Foursquare Church. In conjunction with the operations of Foursquare Bible College, the church has also been using the facilities of the school. What started out as a pioneering church with three families is now a major center of evangelism in Quezon City. CCFC has now an attendance at its three services numbering 1100. Since 1967, the church has been directly involved in the planting of over fifty “daughter” and “granddaughter” churches. Six couples have been sent from the congregation to serve as overseas missionaries in Japan, Papua New Guinea, Thailand, and Spain.
