History
Dave Sheil is the founder and senior pastor of REACH Community Church. He was ordained through the Southern Baptist Convention in 2005 and became an Associate Pastor at The Crossing Community Church in Fort Pierce, Florida. In 2009, The Crossing sent Dave and his wife Paula to an outreach mission on the beach in Fort Pierce. Initially the outreach was planned to begin in the club house of a mobile home community, but due to damages sustained in hurricanes Jean and Francis, the community no longer existed. This eventually led to beginning the outreach in a new location, a beach-side bar called Archie's Seabreeze. The congregation grew from a handful to over 300 attending Sunday services. In 2020, when all restaurants closed due to COVID-19, the church moved its services to the Causeway Cove Marina, 601 Seaway Drive, Fort Pierce FL 34949. The church continues to meet there while preparing a new meeting site at the church's Thrift Store on US1.
