East Coast Church - Viera

When to go

About

• Neil Migala★★★★★9 months ago

  East Coast Church has been a huge part of my life and my family’s. Not only is the teaching grounded in the Word, but it’s practical for everyday life. The worship is powerful, and there’s a real sense of community here—you’re not just another face in the crowd. I’ve seen firsthand how much the church values both excellence and people. They care about families, raising up the next generation, and creating a safe place where people can grow in their faith. I also love the heart this church has for men and young boys—helping them step into what it means to be godly men in today’s world. If you’re looking for a church that feels like home and challenges you to grow closer to Christ, East Coast Church is the place.

  There’s a reason why this church is growing: It’s thoughtful, relational, excellent, relevant and passionate about the Bible. Pastors Matt and Jessica Stallbaum are authentic people who obviously love people and know how to create spaces for others to experience God and the Bible. The messages are fun and insightful. The kids ministry is safe, clean, and well prepped.

  Very loud, heavy bass, contemporary music. Completely drowns out audience singing. Have a female pastor, most are male though. Good preaching, emphasis on accepting Christ as savior. Good spiritual follow up program.

  We used to attend this church when we lived on the east side of Florida. We really enjoyed it. The music is wonderful. A lot wonderful programs for the children and adults. One program they do is called freedom classes and it is awesome.

  I don't go here, but my in-laws live behind it. Constant noise. Music practice, kids screaming. And now a bright light that shines right onto their patio at night. Thought we were getting raided by the DEA. Jesus would have been a better neighbor.

  Very friendly congregation, casual atmosphere and attire in a warehouse-like setting. The pastor does an excellent job. The music is mostly contemporary and sometimes a bit too dark with annoying bright lights that frequently shine right in your eyes. It's always ridiculously cold in the sanctuary, so heavy wraps and jackets are needed even when it's 90 degrees outside.

  This church was the first place that felt truly like home when we moved here from Michigan. The pastors are warm and kind. This church is not just about attending and walking away, this is a church where you build relationships. Where you can join the teams and grow together.

  Best church around! Not a knock against other churches, but instead it is a testament to how good East Coast is! From the moment you park your car, till service is dismissed, you feel like you’re at home. That is, if your home has a parking lot team, friendly greeters, free coffee, amazing worship, informative announcements, next level messages that align with the Word of God, and an amazing community that makes you feel like family! They also have a refresher team that makes sure everything is service ready when you come! A big thing I love is that East Coast lets you know what your tithe and offering is going towards: helping churches across the world, supporting missionaries, getting shoes to children in Guatemala, supporting Christ-centered organizations (i.e. Convoy of Hope, Overlook Ministries, etc.), and so much more. They steward your money well! Another incredible thing is the generational ministries that East Coast has. In fact, their goal is to “Build a Life-giving Church That Lasts.” I have actually been at this church my entire life, so I have been in every ministry that they have! Their kids church, East Coast Kids, teaches the children to learn about the love of Jesus even in the earliest parts of their lives! Their youth ministry TNT (The New Thing, which is based on Isaiah 43:19) creates a space for students (7th-12th grade) to learn how to navigate life, share struggles with other students and/or trusted leaders, and to get away from the toxic environments that they would otherwise be around. TNT has two locations (one in Viera and one in Merritt Island). Finally, their young adult church “Mezzanine.” This ministry creates an area for 18-30 y/o to find community, strengthen their faith, and have fun with people who are the same age and in the same part of life! They also have an online campus so you can take East Coast on vacations! East Coast believes that you belong before you believe. Just like Jesus didn’t leave out anyone when He was doing His ministry, East Coast doesn’t either! You are welcome at this church no matter your background, beliefs, religion, or anything else. If you are on the fence about coming or are searching for a church, this is the place to be!

  The best place to get the word of God in a friendly and warm environment. You immediately feel welcome and part of the church. Something for every age. Lots of opportunities to serve. Definitely a No judgement zone, come as you are. I've been to many churches because of traveling with the military and I am blessed to have found a church home that is by far one of the best I've attended.
