Rev. Neal McHenry is Faith Harbors Assistant Pastor. He is a ordained minister with a Doctor of Divinity Degree from Canterbury University in London. He comes to us from the Hawaiian Islands where he was ordained in 1982. He has served on many pastoral/ministry positions with small and large churches.
He understands the many heartfelt needs of people of different religions and cultures. His openness and compassionate nature comes from being raised in Europe and his life in the islands where so many ethnic groups share their love of the gospels and a life in Christ.
His personal mission statement states: “ Inspired by the Gospel, unified by love, led by the Holy Spirit we embrace and provide for the needs of the churched & un-churched, the poor, abused, homeless and helpless. In our efforts, we reach out to bring healing of mind, body and spirit to all. We understand that Jesus transforms lives and lifts up the entire quality of life through Worship, Prayer, Praise and Thanksgiving.”
Pastor Neal is married to his wife Jackolyn. They have 4 grown children and many grandchildren. They call Surf City/Topsail Island their home.
