Kyle Riggle

Worship Team Leader

Kyle is a student at Indian River State college and an avid musician. He plays all the instruments that I can think of. His real passion is using his musical talent to help others connect with God.

Stephen Sharp

Youth Leader

One word sums up Stephen: COFFEE! Stephen is well caffeinated. He loves tech gadgets and anything Google. Stephen has attended Coastal since we started meeting in Pastor Seth's home. He is a gifted speaker/teacher and a great role model for the students and young adults that he leads. He is Pastor Seth's slave... er... intern. He believes God has a calling on his life to become a pastor. Pastor Seth is helping him prepare by subjecting him to some of the challenges and joys of ministry life!

Kailey Riggle

Youth Leader

Kailey is a talented leader of students and young adults. She is an avid gardener/farmer. I enjoy spending time with my family playing cards or doing anything random. As a survivor of a brain tumor during her teen years, she understands what it means to trust God to overcome life's challenges.

Family Connection Ministers

Bill and wife, Linda, are long time residents of the Treasure Coast of Florida. Bill is a retired from a career as manager of a citrus grower business. Bill enjoys fishing. Don't go fishing with him unless you like fishing with someone who catches all the fish while you watch. Bill is one of the nicest red necks we've ever met. If you have anything that needs fixed, hand him a roll of duct tape and he'll have it fixed in minutes! He often reminds people that NASA uses duct tape to make quick repairs in space.
