Neal has served as the Minister to Students since January of 2009. He is passionate about leading young people to become fully devoted followers of Jesus. Currently, he is completing his undergraduate degree at the College of Biblical Studies-Houston.
Neal married his high school sweetheart in June of 1999. Traci is a vital part of the student ministry at Oak Ridge. She shares Neal’s passion for students, and works constantly beside him to fulfill their calling. Traci recently joined the staff as Ministry Assistant to the Pastor. They have one son, Tyler, who is a very busy 4 year old. He can often be found behind a drumset, across from someone at a ping pong table, or following close behind his daddy.
The Matthews family loves spending time at a beach, taking the occasional cruise, or catching the latest Cirque du Soleil show in town. They feel truly blessed to be a part of the family at Oak Ridge Baptist Church, and consider it a privilege to serve the Lord by serving His people.
