Pastors

Pastor Isaac and his wife Diamond became the lead Pastors of Shore Christian Church in May 2016. Prior to this, Pastor Isaac was the Associate Pastor of the church. He and Diamond also founded the Jersey Shore Dream Center (link this text to the Dream Center page on the website) in 2012. The Jersey Shore Dream Center is one of the largest community outreach organizations on the Jersey Shore, serving the needs of approximately 40,000 individuals per year.

Since taking leadership they have ushered in a new and fresh way for people to relate to the Gospel. Isaac's message is known for being relevant, humorous, passionate, and anointed, making Christianity relatable to anyone.

Pastor Isaac & Diamond have been featured on Trinity Broadcasting Network and Channel 12 news. They currently reside in Monmouth County with three children Judah, Lily, and Dewey. 


  • Founding Pastor

    Pastor Dewey and Pastor Ronda founded Shore Christian Church in 1977 and poured their lives into ministering the gospel all across the world, including Kenya and India. Under their leadership, Shore Christian Church has seen thousands of families come to Jesus, and in the 90’s grew the church to one thousand weekly attendees. Presently, she is serving through church operations, the “Soaring Eagles” Life Group, and wherever else is needed to raise up the next generation. She rejoices to see the Kingdom continue to grow under Pastor Isaac and Diamond’s leadership.

  • Apprentice Pastor

    Uriah Siliga is the Apprentice Pastor for Shore Christian Church. He started attending in 2017 and began serving immediately. He has helped lead the Young Adults Group, Youth Group, and also serves on the Praise and Worship team. In November of 2021, he began serving as one of the Deacons here at SCC until he became an Apprentice Pastor in August of 2023. He is happy to be of service for God's glory.

Elders

  • The Lord led Rick and Sandi to Shore Christian Church over 35 years ago, and they have been planted here ever since. As Elders and SCC board members, they serve the Lord, our pastors, and our church in every way we can. Their passion is to see the magnificent vision and mission God has given our church fulfilled. They fulfill that in part through the School of Faith & Healing that they teach, the Next Steps class which they oversee, and the Healing and Prayer teams that they lead so that Jesus’ words in John 14:12-14 and John 10:10 can become a part of every believer’s life.

  • Joe and Joyce met in 1981 at a SCC life group meeting and were married in 1982. After moving to NJ, Joyce became the church’s secretary, working with Pastor Dewey and Associate Pastor Randy Barr. In 1990, Joe formed the Word Works Television ministry with Pastor Dewey which ran for over 15 years, broadcasting SCC’s weekly services. Joyce oversees the Children’s Church ministry. Joe oversees the Streaming Ministry that streams and records the 9 am service weekly. They serve on the Board and look forward to helping continue the vision of SCC.
