EAST COAST CHRISTIAN ACADEMY INC

What EAST COAST CHRISTIAN ACADEMY INC does

East Coast Christian Academy Inc operates as East Coast Christian Center (ECC / East Coast Church), a multi-site Christian church headquartered in Merritt Island, Florida with additional campuses in Viera and Cocoa, plus an online streaming presence. The organization serves the Brevard County community through a comprehensive ministry portfolio that segments congregation members across every life stage — East Coast Kids (Nursery-6th grade), The New Thing Youth (7th-12th), The Mezzanine (college/career-launching young adults), Wolfpack (men), Sisterhood (women), Alpha Omega (young leaders), Celebrate Recovery (12-step), Worship Ministry, and Worship Academy (10-week instrument training for ages 10-18). Pastoral leadership is provided by Lead Pastor Matt Stallbaum and his wife Jessica, who assumed the lead role in 2021.

The core product surface combines (i) free worship services and biblical teaching across three physical campuses and online streaming, (ii) East Coast Christian Academy (ECCA), a tuition-based daycare and Voluntary Prekindergarten (VPK) facility fully accredited by the Association of Christian Schools International, and (iii) community outreach including a Food Pantry that distributes over 400,000 pounds of food annually, Missions partnerships, and Small Groups (Freedom Groups and Rooted Groups). Technology infrastructure consists of the Church Center platform for community and group management, a Subsplash-based East Coast mobile app, online streaming at eccc.online.church, and a YouTube archive — all off-the-shelf ministry tools rather than proprietary platforms. There are no API products, integrations, or AI capabilities disclosed.

The revenue model is fundamentally donation-based: tithes and offerings from congregation members, supplemented by tuition from ECCA families and program-specific giving. Worship services and most ministry programs are free; the daycare/VPK operates on a tuition model. As a Florida-registered nonprofit religious organization with 10 employees on the official roster, the entity is privately held with no parent company, no external ownership, and no disclosed funding rounds or institutional investment — leadership is provided directly by the pastoral team.
