Our mission is to build a life-giving church that lasts! That means we value every generation and look to invest in our community by showing them the love of God in everything we do. We believe that church is more than just a gathering, it's a family. And this family has room for you. Join us as we love God, love people, and love life—together.
Here at East Coast, we are one church in many locations. Another way to say it is that we are one house with many rooms! No matter where you are in Brevard County and beyond, we have a place for you to come and be part of our family.
Matt Stallbaum has served East Coast Christian Center for most of his life, and in 2021 he became Lead Pastor. He and his wife, Jessica, co-lead the church. They give vision and direction as well as oversee the pastoral team and staff. Matt is a visionary, and that has led him to launch multiple ministries including the Mezzanine (East Coast’s young adult ministry) as well as The Chapel and East Coast Viera location.
Pastor Matt was ordained in ministry in 2004 and has served in various pastoral positions at East Coast and worked at Soul Survivor Church in England. Matt earned a Bachelor's in Christian Counseling from Life Christian University, an Associates Degree in Theology from Life Christian University, a Basic Diploma of Theology from Life Christian University, an Advanced Diploma of Theology from Life Christian University and a graduate of the Crunch and Grind Theology program from Soul Survivor Watford, UK.
Matt and the love of his life, Jessica, have three children—Reagan, Hudson, and Adilyn.
