Shay grew up in West Texas, where he met his wife, Robyn. They have been married for almost 10 years. They have four boys: Blayze, Colstyn, Zayd, and Kylar. Shay is starting Mercyhill Church because God is closer than people think, and Jesus still changes lives!

Stephanie grew up in the DFW area and recently moved to Fort Worth to help plant MercyHill. She married her husband, Randall, in 2020.  Stephanie has served in ministry for over 20 years, with 16 of those years focusing on campus ministry at the University of North Texas in Denton. She is excited to join in with all that God is doing in North West Fort Worth!
