Kip McNeill

Pastor Kip McNeill is a native of Clarksville, Tennessee.
Growing up, he was occupied with the outdoors with little time going to church. At age 13, however, Kip attended a youth conference in Nashville where he gave his heart to the Lord.

Upon graduation he attended Austin Peay State University, majoring in Business Administration. During that time, he found a new church home in Oakwood Free Will Baptist Church in Woodlawn, TN. While attending he met his now wife, Megan
(James) McNeill. The two were married in December 2015, and they both took greater roles serving at Oakwood.

Soon after The Lord began to work in Kip’s heart about calling him to ministry. Pastor Kip answered the call to preach and was licensed at Oakwood where he would continue to serve in youth and children’s ministries. At that time, Kip decided to return to school at Welch College, where he graduated in 2020 with degrees in Christian ministry and Theology. In October
2017, Kip took the position of Associate Pastor at Friendship Free Will Baptist Church where he and Megan serve today.
