Eastbrook Church

What Eastbrook Church does

Eastbrook Church is a non-profit Christian religious organization founded in 1979, headquartered on the north side of Milwaukee, Wisconsin at 5353 N. Green Bay Ave. The church serves the Milwaukee metropolitan area through a multi-channel ministry model comprising three Sunday worship services (8, 9:30, and 11 am), online streaming via eastbrook.online.church, and small groups meeting in homes and at the church throughout the city and suburbs. It employs 42 staff, is governed by a Church Council under 501(c)(3) status, and is led by Pastor Matt Erickson following the June 16, 2026 passing of founding Pastor Emeritus Dr. Marc Erickson. Sub-brands include Eastbrook Academy (K4-8th grade Christian school), Eastbrook Online (streaming platform), and Holy Grounds (in-facility cafe).

The church's core technology stack centers on Church Community Builder (CCB) for member database, check-in, and management; Epic electronic health records at the Bread of Healing Clinic; and custom check-in software for the food pantry. Digital extensions include a mobile app, comprehensive online sermon archive (searchable by speaker, topic, series, and book), online/text giving platform, podcast, devotionals, and video library. The Bread of Healing Clinic represents a notable healthcare-adjacent operation requiring HIPAA-grade infrastructure and volunteer clinical coordination, while the International Community Center (ICC) delivers refugee, immigrant, English language, and citizenship programming in partnership with UW-Milwaukee.

Eastbrook's revenue model is entirely donation-based: voluntary tithes and offerings from congregants collected via online giving, text giving, and in-person giving during services. All worship services, small groups, Bible studies, and community programs are free to attend, with nominal fees on certain study materials. The church operates a portfolio of community service arms — Food Pantry (in partnership with Hunger Task Force), Bread of Healing Clinic (in partnership with breadofhealing.org), ICC, and Eastbrook Academy — that are not direct revenue generators but expand institutional footprint. Geographic reach is concentrated in the Milwaukee metropolitan area, though digital streaming extends global access to content with no disclosed attendance or contribution data.
