Melissa came to South Coast in the fall of 2018 after 10+ years of serving as a volunteer in kids ministry.

After feeling a strong calling into leadership, Melissa enrolled at the School of Ministry and came on full-time as the South Coast Children's Pastor. Her past experiences include serving at kids camps, directing VBS, running a children's nursery and preschool, and teaching elementary.

Melissa, her husband Jonathan and son Jeremiah, love to serve the families at South Coast through teaching South Coast Kids what it means to grow as a follower of Jesus.

...and they have a LOT of fun along the way.
