About Seacoast Church

Seacoast Church started in February 1988, when Greg Surratt and a team from Northwood Assembly gathered about 100 people in an apartment clubhouse in the Charleston, South Carolina area. The church was built to reach the unchurched and became one of the first congregations in America to pioneer the multisite model. Based in Mount Pleasant, the non-denominational church now has 15 locations across the Carolinas and weekly attendance around 14,000. Josh Surratt, Greg's son, serves as lead pastor, while Greg remains founding pastor and co-founded the Association of Related Churches, a planting network behind more than 900 churches.

Seacoast holds 203,314 combined followers across three platforms. YouTube is the largest at 97,500 subscribers, growing 9.67 percent over the past year with video published as recently as June 9, 2026. Facebook adds 66,936 followers and Instagram contributes 38,878 on @seacoastchurch. The breadth score of 82.5 reflects consistent activity on all three, with no TikTok presence in the data.

Seacoast's numbers look like the church itself: steady, durable, and built on systems. The velocity score of 40 and 9.67 percent YouTube growth will not top any leaderboard, but adding roughly 8,600 subscribers a year to a channel pushing 100,000 is the kind of compounding most churches would take. The platform mix skews to YouTube and Facebook, consistent with a congregation that spans generations across 15 campuses. A church that helped invent multisite knows something about distribution. The digital footprint suggests the same playbook, applied to feeds instead of buildings. The missing piece is short-form: no TikTok and a modest Instagram leave room to grow with the next generation.
