John Neal

John and Beverly Neal were members of the Longmont Church several years ago when they first moved to Colorado. They now live in Milliken, Co but returned to worship at Longmont about seven years ago. They stated, "It was like going home as this has always been such a loving and friendly church." They have been married for 38 years. John met Bev on the day he was baptized in 1967. They have a son and a daughter, both are married with kids of their own. They are retired(early) and enjoy traveling, working around the house, fishing and being involved with our church family. John loves the Longmont congregation and is excited to be a part od their commitment to sharing the gospel with the local community. John believes that being more proactive in reaching out to the community particularly through service to the community in specific ways is important as well as inviting neighbors to find a better way to live in this world.
