Church At Viera

What Church At Viera does

Church at Viera is a non-denominational, evangelical Christian church and 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization headquartered on a 30-acre campus at 9005 N. Wickham Rd, Melbourne, Florida (Viera area). Founded in 1987 as Suntree Baptist Chapel and relaunched under its current name in 1992 by Lead Pastor Mark Ragsdale, the church operates four weekend worship services (Thursday 7:00pm and Sunday 8:30am, 10:00am, 11:30am) with live streaming for the two Sunday morning services, and it serves a multi-generational congregation including families with children, middle and high school students, young adults, and adults in life transitions across Central Brevard County.

The church's product surface is organized around a structured Discipleship Pathway (Come to Church, Get in a Group, Join the Crew, Make an Impact) and includes CAV Kids (infants through 5th grade), CAV Middle School (6th-8th grade), CAV High School (9th-12th grade), CAV Weekday Preschool (licensed ages 2-5), CAV Buddies (special needs inclusion), Formation Classes (101-401), Hope & Support Groups (Celebrate Recovery, GriefShare, DivorceCare, Crown Financial, Trauma REBOOT), Connection Groups, and an Impact Ministry running both local Serve 321 days and global mission trips. Digital infrastructure runs on the Church Center platform by Subsplash, which powers the myCAV online community, the branded CAV mobile app on iOS/Android/Amazon, online giving, event registration, group management, and virtual connect cards. The Sharing Grace Podcast extends content reach on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube.

The revenue model is nonprofit and donation-driven: tithes and offerings (voluntary, typically 10% of income) accepted via cash, check, ACH, and card are the primary funding stream, supplemented by recurring tuition from the CAV Weekday Preschool ($375/month for 2s and 3s, free VPK for eligible 4s with a $275 registration fee), nominal fees for formation classes ($5-$50), and smaller licensing/registration revenue. The church is governed by Administrative Leaders (Elders) and a Succession Team, with a planned Lead Pastor transition in October 2028. Headcount is approximately 30+ paid staff across executive, pastoral, ministry, administrative, production, and facilities roles.
