Michelle Neal
Children's Ministry Coordinator

I grew-up in a Christian home in Austin, Texas. I became a Christian at the age of 8 and begin serving in the children's ministry in my early teens. I married my husband, Edward "Jay" Neal in 1987. We have three wonderful children, Andrew, Austin and Amanda. We have been members of the First Baptist Church in Bastrop, Texas since 1996.

Children's Ministry has been a vital part of my adult life. I began in the Children's Ministry at First Baptist Church of Bastrop in 1997. I have led the Children's Ministry since 1999 and have been a member of the staff as the Children's Ministry Coordinator since 2002. I also direct the Children's Sunday School, Children's Choir, Kidz Kamp and Autumn Family Fest. I have a great team serving with me in many areas of the Children's Ministry.

It is a blessing and honor to serve the Lord at First Baptist in the Children's Ministry and to serve the children and teach them who Jesus is and to guide them with Bible truth so they, too, will come to know my Savior. Children are so great to work with and they light up when they are being taught the Word of God.
