Shayla McCormick
Shayla is a native Floridian, born & raised in Bradenton, FL. She is the oldest of 6 kids (that is why she is so bossy, just kidding). Shayla & T.J. have been married since 2000 and can’t wait to spend the rest of their lives together. Since being married they have felt God’s call to plant a church and their dream became a reality when they planted Coastal Community Church in September 2009. Shayla has a passion to help people discover their purpose in life and walk it out in their lives. “He is no fool who gives up what he cannot keep to gain what he cannot lose” – Jim Elliot
