This Lead Pastor role at Coastal Community Church is a great opportunity for the right leader to join a healthy, thriving, dynamic, diverse church in Virginia Beach, Virginia.
Coastal Community Church was started in 1999 by Dr. Hank Brooks and his wife, Donna. The church began in the Brooks’ living room with five families– and spent the next 15 years as a mobile church. The heartbeat for starting Coastal was to do church differently, to reach people who didn’t know or didn’t remember that they were loved by Jesus.
The church has grown to around 1100 in the past 20 years as we’ve focused on welcoming people, helping them meet Jesus, and growing closer to him. There have been a lot of growing pains through the years, as with most churches, but through it all, we’ve managed to keep our sense of humor, our passion for growing God’s kingdom, and impacting this world.
In 2005, Coastal had the opportunity to go multisite, and that leap of faith is what God used to help us buy the land and build the church building we use today. We’ve strategically stepped back to one campus so that we can get ready to launch more campuses in the near future. We are multisite at heart, with a desire to see more people connect with Jesus.
The Lead Pastor at Coastal Community Church is “primarily responsible for the spiritual life of the church. This includes leading the church to fulfill its mission: “To make more and better followers of Christ and Christ-following churches.”
