Next StepsNEXT Groups
One of the next steps we want everyone at the Suncoast to take is to get into a NEXT Group. NEXT Groups are smaller groups of people from the Suncoast that gather in homes around our area for 12-week semesters. During those 12-week semesters you will meet weekly to dig deeper into Sunday’s message and how it applies to your life. You will learn from the experience of others. You will serve the community together once and give to a cause your group chooses once. These groups are the perfect environment to meet people and feel like you are a part of our church.
Groups begin soon, check out the news page for sign up information and group times and locations! You can join a group at anytime.
 Serving
When you serve at the Suncoast you’ll experience what it means to get outside of yourself and be a part of something bigger than you. Your contribution matters as we continue to grow this church and reach out to others. You can make a difference with your one and only life and as you do you’ll notice a difference within your own heart and life. Serving is also a great way to meet people. Contact us at

Baptism & Child Dedication*
Baptism was a Christ-Followers next step in the Bible. Baptism is a simple celebration that symbolizes being dead to an old way of life and alive in new life with Jesus. For more information on baptism e-mail

*At the Suncoast we dedicate children instead of baptizing them. We want each person to be able to make a faith decision on their own once they are old enough to understand about faith in Jesus. Dedication is a simple celebration where we dedicate ourselves as parents and as a church to raise this child in a Christ-Following environment. For info e-mail

Share Your Story
Our purpose here at the Suncoast is to help people take their next steps with God. We will always be the kind of church where people can find hope, forgiveness, and purpose in Jesus. And, we love to hear about it! We never get tired of hearing how God is working in your life as you take next steps.

Invest and Invite
Many people don’t feel comfortable sharing their faith journey with others. So, at the Suncoast we are not asking you to do that. We are asking you to care about the people around you. Intentionally, curiously, and genuinely invest in those people and then when the time is right, invite them to this place where they will discover they matter to God. Grab some invite cards as a tool to do this with on Sundays.
Giving
As Christ Followers, we believe that we are stewards of God's resources because He is the owner of all that we have. Throughout scripture, we are reminded of the importance of giving back a portion of what God has so generously provided. His word tells us that giving is an act of worship that should be done with a spirit of thanksgiving and it is a sign of true spiritual maturity.
How do I give?
At the Suncoast we have several ways that you can give to God's work through your tithes and offerings. You can give by check on Sundays by placing it in the offering envelope attached to your program, you can mail a check to us (PO Box 1031 Odessa, FL 33556), you can give securely here on our website with PayPal by clicking the "Give Online" button at the top left of this page, or you can set up an automatic draft with your bank.
Counseling
We all need a neutral, third party to talk to sometimes. From pre-marital counseling to marital counseling and past hurts to current habits we have a great couple that does our counseling at the Suncoast.
