Coast Life Leadership

Chris and Teia O'Neil have been pastoring in the region of southern Oregon for over ten years.  Their reality includes an ongoing partnership with the presence of God, while engaging others in His presence.  Loving God, loving family, making friends, and helping people are core values they live by every day.  They are both amazing pastors and worship leaders, and carry the  gift of prophetic encouragement and discipleship.  Chris is an impressive historian, as he studies and learns from the past great revivalists and moves of God, while ushering us into the current flow of the Spirit.  They have a beautiful son named Gavin, who is a wonderful blessing and miracle to them.

Justin and Tessah Denney have been enjoying ministry together for the last seven years.  Tessah has served as a youth pastor for the last decade.  In 2011, she married Justin, who has proven to be the perfect companion and partner in life.  Justin and Tessah joined Coast Life in the summer of 2017.  They refuse to accept minimal integrity, but strive for greatness.  They value and appreciate those who innovate, but have the hearts of pioneers.  Justin and Tessah honor and learn from the people of the past, and the paths they've tread, but refuse to have their ceilings limit their own.  Not only can they see how things are, but they dare to dream how they could be.  They are dangerously passionate to see the truths of God's kingdom on earth as it is in heaven become a reality.

Pastors Daryel & Maurette Schorr have been a part of Grace International for over 60 years. Daryel has held the position of  Executive Administrator for the national organization for several years.  In addition they have pastored various Grace churches throughout America, as well as been consultants to churches to help them to reach their full potential.

They are young and progressive senior leaders with a passion to see the kingdom grow in our region.We are honored and blessed to have them be a part of our ministry team.

Kelli Schleis grew up traveling all over the United States, until her family settled in Coos Bay.  She would help her mom find a new church each time they moved.  They have been active at Coast Life since 2011.  Kelli has helped in many avenues and aspects of ministry.  She currently helps with administrative needs, as well as coordinating various events and outreaches.  Her goal is to share the love of Jesus everywhere she goes, whether here or abroad.  She is open and excited for any adventures God will send her on.

Isabella (Bella) Freerksen has been a part of Coast Life Church for many years along with the rest of the Freerksen family.  She has an amazing heart for children and compassion for the lost, as well as a purity that attracts young people to righteousness.  She is a senior at North Bend High School, and will be attending SWOCC in the fall of 2018.

Jeff and Angela Freerksen are key leaders at Coast Life.  Jeff is a true disciple to men, raising up young leaders to step into their destiny, as well as the head of safety for the congregation.  Angela is both a seer and a visionary, and leads the prayer warriors to victory in the Spirit over this region.  They both have true servant hearts, and are always willing to help in any capacity to bless our church and community.
