Our Story

East Bay Church is a growing church revitalization, building upon 40 plus years of serving the Gulf Breeze & Navarre communities!

EBC is located strategically between Navarre & Gulf Breeze, right in the heart of these growing communities.

In the Summer of 2020, EBC began the early stages of the RELAUNCH/REVITALIZATION process, led by new Lead Pastor Stacy and Heidi Clearman. The existing congregation was around 20-30 in weekly attendance.

EBC was founded in 1978 by Pastor David & Anne Lang & was formerly known as Midway First Assembly. The Lang’s retired in the summer of 2020.

EBC introduced PARTNER PHASE in the Fall of 2020. This campaign goal was to raise $85,000 to help fund updates & equipment needed to modernize the facility, including new roofing & other construction needs.

EBC spent 1 year preparing for RELAUNCH by casting vision, building teams, growing the congregation, raising funds, & updating the property, ultimately raising above the $85,000 goal with the help of donors from churches, businesses, & families from all over the nation.

RELAUNCH Sunday (10.10.21) was a huge success with over 200 in attendance! EBC announced a significant increase in missions giving and ministry investment plans for the future.

Since Relaunch, EBC has continued to grow with new families of all ages & has become a model of church revitalization in the region. The Lord is faithful!
