Justin and Amanda McNeil serve together as Executive Pastors and Nona Campus Pastors at City of Life Church. Both raised in the City of Life family, they have deep roots in the church and a lifelong love for its mission. Their hearts for people and passion for ministry shine through in every area they serve.

Justin is a volleyball enthusiast who never says no to chips and salsa (especially when enjoyed at the same time), while Amanda is a gifted seamstress, a talented cook, and a firm believer that ice cream is one of God’s greatest blessings.
Justin is known for being wherever people are -teaching, leading, encouraging, and celebrating with the church family. His life verse is Philippians 1:9-11 (MSG) So this is my prayer: that your love will flourish and that you will not only love much but well. Learn to love appropriately. You need to use your head and test your feelings so that your love is sincere and intelligent, not sentimental gush. Live a lover’s life, circumspect and exemplary, a life Jesus will be proud of: bountiful in fruits from the soul, making Jesus Christ attractive to all, getting everyone involved in the glory and praise of God.

Amanda brings deep compassion and strength to her ministry, especially in caring for families navigating seasons of crisis. After experiencing personal tragedy as a young person, she learned how to draw near to Jesus in difficult times. That journey shaped her heart to help others find the same hope and comfort. Her life verse is 2 Corinthians 1:3-5 (MSG) He comes alongside us when we go through hard times, and before you know it, he brings us alongside someone else who is going through hard times so that we can be there for that person just as God was there for us. We have plenty of hard times that come from following the Messiah, but no more so than the good times of his healing comfort—we get a full measure of that, too.

Together, they are a dynamic team - devoted to building the church, raising their son Malachi,  and living lives full of purpose and service.
