He has spent his career as a Pastor, shepherding small, medium, and large congregations in Texas and Arkansas for more than 30 years.

Pastor Neil is a Magna Cum Laude graduate of Baylor University and holds a Master of Divinity degree from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary and a Doctor of Ministry degree from Covenant Theological Seminary in St. Louis, Mo. Pastor Neil says, “At an early age, the Lord impressed upon me the tremendous responsibility of serving as a pastor and the need to preach the word of God in a way that is always accurate, relevant, and captivating.
My prayer, at all times, is that the Lord would use my ministry to help others know the redeeming love of Christ!”

Youth Pastor
My name is Weston Vickers. I have lived in Albany my whole life alongside my wonderful family. I am an avid hunter, fisherman, and golfer. I've consistently enjoyed working with youth, from summer camps to after-school golf lessons and various sporting events. My favorite quote and something I live my life by is a quote by Saint Francis “Preach the Gospel at all times and, when necessary, use words”. Anytime I read this it reminds me that I am called to be an example for the Lord in all aspects. I would love the opportunity to work alongside your children to not only grow their relationship with God but to use it as a lens to view their life and the world around them.
