Meet Neal...
Neal is a singer/songwriter and worship leader living in Kingsport, Tennessee where he is currently serving as student pastor at West Colonial Hills Baptist Church.
Neal surrendered his heart to Christ as a child and has been following the Lord’s calling on his life ever since.
At the age of fifteen, Neal bought his first guitar at a pawn shop and eventually taught himself to play along with the radio. In the next few years, he began to pen his own songs and share them at church. In college, Neal joined other musicians to form a worship band that traveled all over Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, and Virginia. During this time, Neal began working for LifeWay Christian’s “M-Fuge” Camp system where he worked with teenagers from all over the U.S.
In 2004, Neal and a group of friends went to a local recording studio to work on his first album “Lead On…” He was also honored to have his song “All These Things” included on a worship compilation distributed by LifeWay called “Our Great God.”
On January 8th, 2005, Neal married Amy Bynum of Potts Camp Mississippi.
In 2006, the Hartleys moved to North Carolina where Neal got his Masters in Biblical Counseling from Southeastern Baptist Theological
Seminary and served at two area churches in music & youth ministry over the next six years.
In April of 2012, Neal joined the staff of West Colonial Hills Baptist Church of Kingsport, TN.
Neal and Amy have four children: Will, Addie, Nate, and Maggie Joy.
