Shayla Bauer

Communications Director, sbauer@canopy.church

I grew up in the Bay Area, came to Southern California for college (go Chapman!) and never left! While I miss the redwoods, I love life here filled with surfing, coffee shop hangs, and sweet community. I do all things communications, film, photography, and design at Canopy, and I help oversee Tables. It’s the best! I am married to my best friend, Nick and we are loving life here in Westside Costa Mesa surrounded by our “canopeeps.”

Favorite hobby?

I love being outside -- whether it is hiking, surfing, camping. And I love drinking coffee & playing games with friends.

Best advice ever given:

There is always more. Always more love, always more to know about God, always more abundance He has to offer.

One of your favorite things about Canopy:

Gosh, I could really go on and on because Canopy is an answer to many years of prayer. To sum it up, I love Canopy because it is made up of people earnestly pursuing Jesus with their whole lives. I have never been more surrounded by bold prayer and dependence on the Spirit, more reminded of my identity in Christ, or more encouraged to grow in my relationship with the Father, than within this family. I am so grateful!
