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

Joe + Rachel Stauffer

Joe is originally from New York, and joined Coastal Kids with his wife, Rachel, in 2016. Joe loves Rachel, being a dad to John Paul, Anthony and Caleb, and using his construction skills on all kinds of home improvement projects. Still, no construction project gives Joe as much joy as helping kids build the foundation of their relationship with Jesus!

Rachel loves all things comic book, movie, and nerd-related, but her favorite thing is helping boys and girls learn just how much Jesus loves them!
