Sheldon & Kathleen have led Bay City Church in Muizenberg, Cape Town since February 2014. They have two children Ella-Mae and Ayden.
Sheldon served his father as a worship leader since 1993, when the church was planted, and in later years as administrator in the office. They married in 2002 and over the years God has knit their hearts together with a firm love and conviction that the church is the hope of the world.
Their heart for the church is to be unified as leaders learn to lay down their crowns, place their own agendas aside and serve the people of God with aligned and authentic hearts. From the promise of Jesus saying He would build His church, they truly believe the church has stepped into a new era and leaders need to ensure they serve, honour and know the builder of the church, Jesus.
For all who are led by the Spirit of God are sons of God – Romans 8:14.
Hi. I am Dave. A little bit about me and my journey thus far. I was born in Durban South Africa in 1971 the 3rd son of 4 boys. I am a Husband to Hester and a Father to James and Gabi. I did most of my schooling and growing up in the beautiful Cape of Good Hope and hope that has some bearing on the work I love to do. School was a place I attended so I could play sports. I was always very competitive and even today I am still learning to notice the difference between the healthy and not so healthy competitive nature. I love to talk and so the journey of becoming a coach has been interesting as the very nature of coaching is to listen! Leaning into listening has also given me a tremendous freedom to see and hear people and their profound and interesting stories and has become a practise I now employ. Having said this I feel that I have a way that calls people to take responsibility for their lives and to encourage them to bravely step into their respective purpose and passion. I come alive talking about the deeper issues of life and the possibilities that can be realised when you are prepared to boldly make calls for yourself that are imperative to change the way things look right now. I am still an avid fitness freak and compete in triathlons as exercise is a place where I connect with myself, others and also find it contemplative and cathartic (especially the endorphins). I hope this gives you a little insight into me and now enough about me – Let’s hear your story.
Hi, I’m Hester Vaughan. I am one half of the Trilife coach team (the better half I would say!) Dave and I have been married for 28 years and have successfully raised two teenagers (successful as in, they are still alive!) I have worked in the coaching space for most of my adult life: first as a financial coach and consultant and now as a personal and executive coach. I love teaching, I love holding a safe space for you to discover your special space in this world. I love sharing my battle stories if it will help you move through your life a little easier, leaving you feeling less alone, and heard.
