About Us
ECCC is a non-denominational church on the Space Coast of Central Florida. Using multimedia presentations, contemporary music and practical messages, we present the ageless truths of the Bible in a format that’s easy to understand, even if you’ve never been to church. We offer live worship during all our Sunday services, and we have 3 venues that you can attend: The Avenue Worship Center, The Parkway Worship Center, and Our Viera Campus inside the Rave Motion Pictures Movie Theatre. Learn more about these venues. You can take your coffee into the service with you at the Avenue, so if you’re not a morning person, this might be the service for you!
Although our style is contemporary, your expression of worship is between you and God. Some sit, some stand, some even dance in the aisles. This time is not about those around you; it’s about connecting with God.
We open the service with praise and worship. We often have a time of ministry and prayer during this part of the service, so if you’d like someone to pray with you, here is your opportunity. Once a month, we take communion together. We have our children in worship with us during the first part of this service so families can participate together; kids are dismissed to Kids Church after this portion of the service.
After worship, Senior Pastor Dan Stallbaum will present a teaching that will give you practical tools from the Word of God to take into your everyday life. If you attend the Parkway Worship Center, you will see Pastor Dan live; if you attend the Avenue Worship Center, you will watch a live simulcast of the message as he is preaching.

We recommend you come about 10 minutes early for good seats. If you are late, one of our ushers will be happy to help you find seating. We serve coffee between and after the Sunday services in the Holy Grounds Cafe. Inside the Avenue Worship Center you'll find our AWC cafe serving Seattle's Best coffee. Coffee is allowed inside the Avenue Worship Center so you can enjoy your coffee during service.
How do I get there?
We are located at 680 North Courtenay Parkway on Merritt Island between 528 and 520. Coming north or south on I-95, exit onto SR 528 and stay on the Beachline going east toward the beaches. Take the Merritt Island exit south on SR 3 (Courtenay Pkwy) and continue south. Look for the East Coast Christian Center digital sign on the left side of the road. You can't miss it!
What should I wear?
We have long time members attending in business suits, T-shirts and jeans, and biker gear. The goal is to worship and connect with God, not impress others. Wear what makes you feel comfortable.
What about my children?
Nursery for newborns and one-year-olds is located in the main sanctuary building. Toddlers up through 6th grade can go to our Community Care Center, the next building south of the main sanctuary. You will see signs in the parking lot directing you to Kids' Church. There you can check in your child for an exciting worship service just for them.
For new moms and moms who prefer to keep their young ones with them for the service, we have a calming/nursing room upstairs from the lobby. There is complete privacy and a live feed of the service going on downstairs, so you can watch the service while caring for your child.
