Katie Lauthen, KIDS Ministry Pastor
Katie is one of those people that you hear before you see. Whether it is her laugh or her sneeze, you know she's around somewhere. At least, that is what her friends at Biola University & Talbot Seminary would tell her; her husband David definitely stands behind the statement. But, behind the laughing & sneezing Katies is thrilled to be part of the Seacoast staff. She loves the deep and goofy parts of life, time with her husband, family, sports, her three cats, friends, climbing, teaching or singing when she can, and finding beauty in the seemingly mundane things of life. Email Katie

Paige Carlson, Hospitality + Communications Director
Paige grew up in Encinitas and has been on staff serving in various roles at Seacoast for 11+ years. It’s probably safe to say this little beach town is her favorite place on Earth. She’s a huge fan of poki bowls, ice cream and sappy Hallmark Christmas movies. You may spot her around town walking to Peet’s coffee to meet a friend or strolling through Target with her son Archer (born in 2018). Paige and Matt have been married since 2008, and love to partner together in ministry, especially at Seacoast. Email Paige
