In 2009, Pastor Chad and Jennifer returned home to Daphne after serving in full-time ministry for over 20 years. Pastor Chad grew up in Daphne and has been deeply involved in the community, serving as a youth pastor and coach at Daphne High School and Bayside Academy. He and Jennifer have also served as pastors in Colorado,Georgia, and Arkansas before launching Coastal Church in 2010. They feel called by God to spend the rest of their lives in Daphne and to raise their son, Evan, here.

As Bon Jovi once asked, "Who says you can't go home?" For Chad and Jennifer, the answer is clear, when you’ve been all around the world, there is only one place left you want to go. Home.
