My 411!

My name is Neal and I have just recently made a pretty major change in my life.  After being the the lead campus minister with Campus Christian Fellowship at NC State University in Raleigh, NC for 7 years (2001-2008 ) I felt led to move in a new direction.  I moved to the Atlanta, GA area in July of 2008 to join the staff of Christ’s Church @ Cobb (see the CCC page on my site for more info).  I am originally from Elizabeth City, NC – near the Outer Banks of North Carolina.

I was born and raised right near the campus of Roanoke Bible College – a small Bible College that desires to train men and women for career and volunteer service in the Kingdom of God.

My parents (Phil & Ora Jane), who are some pretty amazing people, have worked at RBC for over 40 years (that is amazing in and of itself) – so as you can imagine that place holds a pretty important part of my life. I also worked there for about 4 years after I graduated in 1998. I was the Athletic Director (and coached men’s and women’s basketball – although not the best record ha ha), Youth Ministry Advisor, Oversaw the Field Education Department, and was a class sponsor for the Class of 2002 – OH YEAH!

I have a sister (Lisa) who is 2 1/2 years older than I am. She is married to Jeff and they have 2 daughters – Madison (7) and Macy (5) and they live outside of Atlanta. They moved there about 4.5 years ago to plant a church. The church is Christ’s Church @ Cobb. Jeff is the lead minister there and it is a wonderful church.

So – back to me – I LOVE to preach. I also enjoy traveling (and if I can travel and preach that is even better!!!) I enjoy sports – nowadays it is mostly watching although I have grown up playing a little bit of everything – the 2 faves are volleyball and basketball.
