Capitol Hill Assembly sits on the south side of Oklahoma City, just off Interstate 240 at 2400 SW 74th Street, where it has long anchored the Capitol Hill neighborhood as an Assemblies of God congregation. Pastors Eddy and Claudia Brewer lead the church with a simple, three-word mission: "Committed. Connected. Called." That motto threads through everything from the Sunday morning worship service and Wednesday Family Night to the children's ministry, youth programming, and the church's broader outreach efforts. The Brewers describe the church's aim as fostering "an atmosphere of commitment to the Lord and to each other, building strong connections within the body of Christ, and reaching out to serve those in and around our community with focus and passion."
Sundays at Capitol Hill Assembly
Sunday is built around two main gathering times. Bible Classes for every age group meet at 9:30 AM in classrooms throughout the building, then everyone gathers for the 10:45 AM worship service. On the second and fourth Sundays of each month, an additional evening service at 6:00 PM gives a third option for the week (those services don't happen when the dates fall on major holidays). Both the Sunday morning service and Wednesday Family Night are livestreamed for those who can't attend in person.
A typical Sunday morning service runs just over an hour and wraps up well before an hour and a half. The first 20 to 25 minutes are devoted to worship, with three to four songs that span newer pieces, familiar favorites, and the occasional hymn - much of what regular Christian radio listeners already know. After a few announcements and an offering (with no pressure or expectation to give), Pastor Eddy Brewer teaches from the Bible. Some messages walk through a passage; others focus on a specific topic. The teaching typically lasts 25 to 35 minutes, and the service closes with a brief time of prayer.
Visitors notice quickly that the dress code is wide open. As Pastor Claudia writes, you will see everything from t-shirts and jeans to dresses and slacks. There is no expectation about what to wear - the instruction is simply to come as you are. No one is asked to stand or be singled out during the service, although connection cards are available at the door for first-time guests. Those who choose to fill out a card receive a small thank-you gift, and that is the only moment any follow-up connection is expected. As the Brewers put it, no one at Capitol Hill has everything figured out, and everyone is walking through life together - "with good days and hard days."
Wednesday Family Night
Wednesdays at Capitol Hill Assembly pivot around Family Night at 7:00 PM. Rather than running separate starting times for each program, the church brings every age group into the building at once. Adults move into their own Bible studies and adult programming, while children head to age-appropriate classrooms and an additional Kids Club, and students in 7th through 12th grade gather in the Student Center for The Hill youth ministry. The unified evening gives busy families a way to participate in church life together without rearranging the whole week, and it reinforces the "Connected" part of the church's mission.
Children from Nursery Through Sixth Grade
Children's ministry at Capitol Hill Assembly reaches from the nursery through 6th grade and is led by Pastor Serena Cargill. Safety is built into the Sunday morning experience: off-duty County Sheriffs patrol the property before, during, and after services, and a safety team monitors the building throughout the morning.
The nursery cares for infants through 3-year-olds. Children 4 years old through Kindergarten meet in Junior Kid's Church, a junior-sized sanctuary upstairs designed for an interactive and immersive experience that "brings the truth of God's word to life." Children in 1st through 6th grade gather for Kid's Church in the Student Center, where the kids' service blends worship, games, a Bible-based message, and plenty of fun, all led by Pastor Serena and a team of volunteers. Children's Bible Class teachers round out the picture during the 9:30 AM Sunday hour, working with school-aged children throughout the building.
For all of that programming, Pastor Serena's deeper heartbeat is family ministry. As she describes it, her passion is "to reach families in our community with the hope of God and help them get connected with God and the church." She and her husband, Tony, have been part of Capitol Hill Assembly for over 25 years - they met while attending youth service at the church and now have three children of their own.
The Hill Youth Ministry
The Hill is Capitol Hill Assembly's youth ministry for students in 7th through 12th grade. The group meets every Wednesday at 7:00 PM in the Student Center, where students come together to worship, study Scripture, pray, and build relationships with one another. Pastors Jonathan and Kayla McLemore lead the ministry. The two met at Nelson University and were married in 2025 - Jonathan is from Ardmore, Oklahoma, and Kayla is from Greenville, Texas.
The Hill frames its weekly purpose as preparing students for what comes next. The McLemores say they "strive weekly to pursue God with everything in us, and to continue to grow the kingdom of Heaven." Their heart as youth pastors is to walk alongside students and help them grow into mature believers with a strong foundation in Christ that will last a lifetime, while developing the gifts and callings God has placed in them.
Iron Men, Radiant Ladies, and Always Young
Adults at Capitol Hill Assembly can plug into three distinct ministry communities. Iron Men exists "to connect, disciple, and equip men of all ages to grow in faith and impact their families, church, and community." Through small-group Bible studies, fellowship events, and service opportunities, the ministry creates spaces for men to sharpen one another spiritually, emotionally, and relationally. Pastor Dustin Jett and a planning team organize the men's program, which welcomes men at any stage of life.
Radiant Ladies is the church's women's ministry, striving "to plan engaging and exciting events that feed the souls and foster relationships for the women of this church." Bible studies, missions support, special women's events and conferences, and outreach opportunities all feed into the group's wider mission: helping women follow the example of Jesus and minister to others. Pastor Claudia Brewer oversees women's ministry through Radiant and writes the church's weekly devotional blog, Claudia's Corner, which walks through Scripture and applies it to everyday life with topics ranging from grace and prayer to faith and endurance.
For adults age 50 and older, Always Young - often shortened to the AYs - offers a fellowship-driven community. The group meets once a month, typically on the first Friday, for dinner, fellowship, and a time of ministry. Monthly menus range from potluck to a full steak dinner, and the group takes two bus trips each year. The AYs also describe themselves as "prayer warriors, praying for the needs of our families, our church, and our nation," with outreach ministries that reach out in many different ways. The group has a stated heart for fun and welcome.
The Pastoral Team
Capitol Hill Assembly is pastored by a multigenerational team. Eddy and Claudia Brewer serve as lead pastors. Pastor Eddy earned a B.A. in Religion from Dallas Baptist University, an M.S. in Counseling from East Texas A&M University, and a Ph.D. in Leadership Studies from Dallas Baptist University. He is an ordained minister with the Assemblies of God. Pastor Claudia supports pastoral care, women's ministry, counseling, and hospital visits, and writes the Claudia's Corner blog. The Brewers are originally from Dallas, Texas, and have four children and eight grandchildren.
Brad and Lindsey McCoy serve as associate pastor and worship pastor. Pastor Brad supports preaching, discipleship, systems, and the church's technology. Pastor Lindsey, who holds a B.A. in Music Education from the University of Central Oklahoma, leads both the worship team and the choir. Together, the McCoys have been doing ministry for the last eight years and have three children. Pastor Jonathan McLemore leads The Hill youth ministry along with his wife, Kayla. Pastor Serena Cargill serves as kids pastor, with credentials as a licensed minister through Global University and a background in occupational therapy and training and development. Pastors Kevin and Eunice Tyler serve as associate pastors for pastoral care and as the church's missions directors; Kevin holds a D.Min. in Spiritual Leadership from Evangel University and is ordained with the Oklahoma Assemblies of God Network. He met Eunice in Wiesbaden, Germany, during a missions assignment with Teen Challenge, and they were married in 1981.
Statement of Fundamental Truths
Capitol Hill Assembly adheres to the Assemblies of God Statement of Fundamental Truths - the 16 doctrines that define the wider fellowship. Four are considered cardinal - Salvation, the Baptism in the Holy Spirit, Divine Healing, and the Second Coming of Christ - and are essential to the church's core mission. The full statement covers the inspired Scriptures, the one true God, the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, the fall of man, the salvation of man, the ordinances of the church, the baptism in the Holy Spirit and its initial physical evidence, sanctification, the church and its mission, the ministry, divine healing, the blessed hope, the millennial reign of Christ, the final judgment, and the new heavens and the new earth.
Royal Family Kids Camp and Other Outreach
Each year, Capitol Hill Assembly hosts Royal Family Kids Camp - a week-long, free summer camp for children ages 6 to 12 who are in foster care in Oklahoma County. The camp provides a safe, loving, and fun environment for some of Oklahoma's most vulnerable kids who might not otherwise get a week like this, and the church says it runs entirely on volunteer support. Dozens of volunteers from Capitol Hill help staff the week each summer.
Beyond the camp, the church points visitors to Why Is This Happening?, an online resource the church has helped develop. Built around the question many people ask first in crisis - "Why is this happening?" - the site shares real stories from people who have faced hard times along with practical steps to move forward. It is offered as a safe place "to rediscover hope and a new purpose for your life."
The church also operates a Hospitality Team that provides luncheons for the families of members on the day of memorial services, a Special Events Team that helps with wedding showers, baby showers, and other church celebrations, and a Digital Photography team that captures the life of the church throughout the year. Members and regular attenders can take advantage of free access to RightNow Media, a streaming library of more than 20,000 faith-based videos for phones, tablets, computers, and TVs. And giving is available online to support the ministries and outreach efforts.
Plan a Visit
For first-time visitors, a few practical details help make the morning simpler. Most parking sits behind the church on the south side of the building. As you walk up, the door on the left leads into Capitol Grounds, the church's coffee shop, which is open from 8:30 AM to 10:30 AM on Sundays and is run by a team of volunteers. The door on the right gives direct access to the nursery for families with small children. Greeters and other volunteers are on hand throughout the morning to point first-time guests in the right direction.
The church office is open Mondays through Thursdays from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Wednesdays additionally from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM during Family Night, Fridays from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and Sundays from 9:15 AM to 12:30 PM to cover the morning Bible Classes and worship service.
