  • Tom Carmody

    LEADERSHIP TEAM

    Tom and his wife Joan returned to Florida following a 38 year career in the retirement service industry that took them to Dallas, Boston and Atlanta.  They grew up in the Jacksonville area, however, after vacationing here for 10+ years, they fell in love with the beaches and beauty of the area and this is now their home!  The Chapel quickly became their church home and they love the mission focus and wonderful people who have become family!


    They have a heart for family focused short term missions and small groups where community is formed and nurtured. While in Boston Tom and Joan attended Grace Chapel in Lexington where they served in short term missions and Tom was very involved in Men’s Ministry.  In Atlanta they attended NorthPoint Community Church where they served in short term missions, lead starting point groups and were small group leaders. Following NorthPoint they attended Passion City prior to making their move to 30A. 


    Tom and Joan host a small group that meets in their home and Joan plays the keyboard in the worship band. Tom is now a realtor and Joan teaches piano which has always been her passion.


    They have been married for 43 years and have been blessed with two beautiful daughters, 2 wonderful son in laws and 5 precious grandchildren!


    Tom became a believer in Jesus Christ at the age of 36. The journey has been exciting and he looks forward to continuing to run the race!

  • Ben ERPS

    LEADERSHIP TEAM

    Ben and his wife Lorri have been married since 1985, having been college sweethearts at Pepperdine University in California. They first attended the Chapel in 2005 when they traveled from Louisville KY to vacation in Seacrest. The Chapel was their family’s “beach church!”


    Ben and Lorri raised three boys: Keith (wife Alex and their amazing daughter Max), Trent (wife Kristen) and Reid. Ben ran a sports merchandising company and the family attended Southeast Christian Church.


    In 2022, they permanently moved to the 30A area and quickly made the Chapel their new home church.


Missions Team

  • Lynn Richardson

    Missions Team

    After careers in educational publishing moved them from southwest Virginia to the DC area, San Francisco, New York, and Boston, Lynn and her late husband John Ambrose moved to the area in 2002.  Late in 2006, they were delighted to find a new church that was meeting at the Town Hall in Rosemary Beach.  The deeper their faith walk became and the more they learned about the Chapel’s vision and missional purpose, the more committed they became as regular attendees.  Lynn has continued her involvement in the Chapel ever since, joining the Missions Team in 2012.  She considers it a privilege and an inspiration to work with all of the Chapel’s Mission Partners all over the world.
