Meet our Pastor & Staff
Our Pastor
My life verse comes from II Corinthians 5:17 “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new." Growing up here on the coastline of North West Florida and being heavily involved in the surf culture, I never imagined being in Pastoral ministry. However, my life radically changed at the age of 18 when I surrendered my heart to Christ. I graduated and met my wife Lynn at Southeastern University in Lakeland, Florida and we married in 1977.
We moved to Kansas City, MO where I did my graduate studies and earned my Master of Divinity degree in 1981.
Moving back to Florida, we started Coastline in 1983. We have three children and now three grand children. The Lord has blessed the ministry and our heart is to see churches planted along the coast of Northwest Florida.
The Staff
These are the men and women who work here week in and week out to help make disciples and plant churches along the coastline. We believe that God uses the foolish things of the world, so here we are.
