The Church of Caputia, also known as the Melusinian Faith, is the state church of the Kingdom of the Union of Caputia. It is the largest church in Caputia and occupies great importance in the development and history of the country.

The Archbishop of Zalae is its leader and most senior cleric. The Sovereign, however, is the Supreme Governor of the church. The Melusinian faith is a sect of Bovinism, as such, it is considered a sister church to the Dozan Bovic Church. Its history can be traced to the city of Thaleia, Thalassa in Natopia.

The Church of Caputia was established by Royal Decree, when the people of Caputia began petitioning Queen Elizabeth I of Caputia to create a church worshiping Melusine, in fulfillment of the Vision of Zalae presented by Melusine to the people.
