Jessie Barnard, Children and Student Ministries Director
Jessie is a 2011 graduate of Liberty University in Lynchburg, VA. She has served in various leadership roles in Children’s Ministry, Awana and in Student Ministry for over a decade now.
During her four years at Liberty, Jessie served in Student Ministries at the 20,000-member Thomas Road Baptist Church. Jessie’s years of ministry experience have uniquely prepared her for directing our Shoreline Community Church Children and Student Ministries today.
Jessie loves her kids, is a huge Green Bay Packer fan and finds great pleasure in discipling young people to a greater relationship with Jesus Christ! Jessie has served on Shoreline’s staff since 2012.
Phil Jeffery, Music and Sound Director
Phil retired as a professional musician, but never retired from playing and teaching music for the Lord. For over 30 years he toured, recorded, produced and played professionally. From 1991 to 1996, Phil was the General Manager of Café Records based in Medford, Oregon until he entered full-time ministry as one of the founding pastors of Table Rock Fellowship in Medford in 1997. During this time, he was appointed Administrative Pastor while continuing his music worship ministry.
The Lord later moved Phil to the Coos Bay area where he again assumed the task of Administrative Pastor at a local area church and later as a Senior Pastor. Through it all, Phil never ceased worshiping God through music.
In the midst of Phil scheduling worship teams, teaching students, and a score of other tasks he gladly fulfills, you can find him loving God and His people. It is not unusual to see Phil with his arm around someone in prayer and fellowship with all sincerity of encouragement. You can also find Phil talking about his son Will, a U.S. Army soldier stationed in Miami, Florida, or going camping, hiking, fishing and the like with his twelve year old son Max.
Although Phil has been on staff since 2017, he has been involved in the music ministry here at Shoreline since 2012 and serves as a youth leader as well.
Amanda Nelson, Administrative Assistant
Amanda began attending Shoreline in 2016 and has been a staff member since 2017. She comes to Shoreline with a broad Christian background and vast knowledge in administration. Amanda’s experience and awesome personality enables her to connect with people on a ministerial level.
The Lord has also gifted Amanda with a wonderfully powerful singing voice. So when she is not in the church office, keeping things running smoothly, you can find her practicing with one of the worship teams. Away from the office, you can usually find Amanda with her family. Shoreline is blessed to have her.
Great question — the fact is that we’ve overlooked adding info for him.
Thanks for the reminder!

My wife and I listen to your sermons Sunday mornings on 98.70 and have been listening since the first time a couple months ago. We believe they are awesome, real and down to earth. You talk about topics that most other churches are afraid to tackle. Thanks for talking about the real Heaven and Hell without any sugar-coating. Let’ s bring the true Word of God, like you do, back into our churches. God Bless and keep up the good work as we live our lives for and with the Lord.
