Our Story

Coast City has been part of the Virginia Beach community since 1986, growing from a small group meeting in a home to the vibrant community we are today. Our journey has been marked by faith, perseverance, and God's guiding hand. From humble beginnings as Christian Chapel, we've experienced the miracle of acquiring our first building in 1991, and the dedication of our current Worship Center in 2010. Then In 2021, we embraced a new name, Coast City, reflecting our commitment to this exciting season of growth and ministry.
