Reverend David Neal & Wife Judy Neal
My wife and I were saved in Dublin, VA in 1973. I was licensed to preach at Fellowship Baptist Church in LillyDell by my mentor, Chester Linkous in Pulaski, VA.
We were both born in Bluefield, WV. I graduated in 1968 from Bluefield HS and Judy graduated in 1969 from Bramwell, WV. We both continued our education through Liberty University Online in Religious Studies and Church Planning. I had courses in counseling and pastoral responsibilities. We have three children and three grandchildren.
I was ordained at Grace Baptist Church in 1975 in Bluefield and was interim pastor before going into Evangelism for several years. I was an Assistant Pastor and Youth Pastor at Liberty Baptist Church as well as Youth Pastor (and later Pastor) for Community Baptist Church in Bluefield. I served as Pastor of Gospel Life Church Bluefield before coming to Oak Grove Church.
I have been in the ministry as Pastor, Youth Pastor, and Pastor of Biblical Education since 1975. Judy has taught Bible to youth and adult women for several years. We are pleased to be your pastoral family at Oak Grove Church!
