Ocean View Church is a growing, multi-generational church that significantly impacts the Myrtle Beach community. In the past ten years, this 50-year-old church has experienced significant transformation. Ocean View has grown in size, has grown younger, and has become a vibrant church reaching young families. Only a short walk from pristine South Carolina beaches, Ocean View is a church making considerable investments in the next generation. A passionate and tight-knit leadership team is looking for a student pastor to join them in reaching families in Myrtle Beach.

About This Organization

Ocean View Church was established over 50 years ago to reach Myrtle Beach and the surrounding communities. Throughout the 1970s and 80s, Ocean View was well-established along the Grand Strand and saw significant growth in every way. An active and generous church body helped build a beautiful facility just a short walk from Myrtle Beach.

Ten years ago, Ocean View called Terry Scalzitti, the next Lead Pastor, leading this church into a thriving modern era. Under Terry’s leadership, Ocean View has grown in giving, attendance, staff, and outreach engagements. Since the Pandemic, Ocean View has continued to grow, reaching more families and integrating more partnerships with organizations locally and overseas.
