Coastal Community Church

What Coastal Community Church does

Coastal Community Church (operating as "Coastal Church") is a 501(c)(3) non-profit religious organization headquartered at 4720 86th Street, Sebastian, Florida. Founded in 2009 and led by founding pastor Seth Goldsmith, the church operates a single physical campus offering two Sunday worship services (9:00 AM and 10:30 AM) plus an online streaming option at the later service. Its ministry portfolio is organized into age-segmented programs: Coastal Kids (birth through 5th grade), Coastal Students (6th through 12th grade), Coastal Groups (adult Bible studies, recovery, and grief support), Men & Women ministries, and a Missions program anchored by a decade-long partnership with Imani Milele Children's Mission in Kamusenene, Uganda, which has delivered over 33,000 medical-clinic patient visits and reached more than 10,000 children since 2014.

The church's underlying technology stack is limited to commodity web and administrative tools: a Squarespace-hosted website (sebastianchurch.com), Church Center for event registration, and OneBlood for blood-drive coordination. There are no proprietary platforms, mobile applications, or custom software products. The organization does not sell products or services; all programming — worship services, children's and youth ministry, small groups, recovery groups, Vacation Bible School, and community events such as the 20th annual Block Party — is provided free of charge to attendees.

The revenue model is donation-based, with all funding derived from voluntary tithes and offerings from the local congregation and supplemented by fundraising events (golf tournaments, concerts, dinners, Camp Realife ticket sales at $20–$25 per student). The go-to-market motion is community-led: word-of-mouth, free in-person community events designed to attract new attendees without sales pressure, weekly email newsletters (1–2 per week), and organic social media presence on Facebook and Instagram. The congregation is geographically concentrated in Sebastian, FL and surrounding Indian River County, with secondary reach into Uganda via mission partnerships and global reach through online worship streaming.

• North Point Community Church: Large multi-campus non-denominational church founded by Andy Stanley in metro Atlanta.

Direct peers

Regional players

Others

• Imani Milele Children's Mission: Uganda-based child welfare organization that is Coastal Church's primary international mission partner.
