Rino and Brenda came to South Coast back in 1991 with their 2 year old daughter. At the time SOUTHCOAST was closed, overgrown and in disrepair.

They have a passion for Jesus and the people they serve.

Shaun and Monica served as Youth Pastors from 2011-2021. God has continues to bless them immensely as Shaun furthers his ministry role at SOUTHCOAST as Associate Pastor.
