Hello, I'm your pastor Michael Neel. I have been serving as the pastor here at Caldwell Pentecostal Holiness Church along with my wife Cathy since 2016. Soon after taking the pastors position here, we were met with a great and unexpected challenge, the flood of 2016. Unfortunately, do to the flood we lost or original church by Howards Creek. Even though we lost our church building, the Caldwell P.H. Church is alive and well. Over these past four years and counting we have seen God move in ways unexplainable, to transition us into a new and improved church, that is welcoming to everyone in the community
When I went to church as a kid, I had a little so called “flavor” of all kinds of different denominations as we went from place to place. From Presbyterian to Nazarene, to Baptist to Methodist. Even though we went from place to place. I can still remember saying to myself when I was a boy “I want to be a preacher when I grow up”. As time went on and I grew into my teenage years, I began to explore the world, be rebellious and stopped going to church. I was living my life how I wanted and doing what I wanted to do. Although not knowing it at the time, I was chasing after something. Something, that I could not quite put my finger on. After living my teen years in a sinful and rebellious lifestyle, I started going back to church in my early 20’s. As I began to go back to church on a rather somewhat consistent basis, I gave my heart back to the Lord. The only problem was, I did not stay “plugged in” so to speak and once again turned away from God. I backslid, falling back into old worldly habits pursuing what I wanted to do. Which is what we all have been guilty of at some point in time in our life. I ran with the “world” a few years doing what I wanted to do and nothing else. Until one day when I was at the end of my rope, I decided to attend a revival. Once again, I rededicated my life back to Jesus and this time I was serious about it. I realized I was still loved by the same Jesus I knew when I was a kid. I realized he loved me unconditionally and he extended his grace towards me. That was over 15 years ago when he took me back with open arms. The love, grace and mercy that Jesus showed me is the same love, grace and mercy that I want Jesus to show to people through me. Even though I turned my back on Jesus when I was a young, he still loved me and had a plan for my life. He pulled me out of the muck and the mire and got me back on my feet. Jesus is always for us and I want people to know that he can do the same for them. After pursuing God and serving the Lord for years. He began to reveal to me that he had called me to preach. Just as I wanted to do when I was a boy. As this dream of mine began to be confirmed by God, I knew in my heart I would eventually become a pastor. This is where I took a step of faith and my journey as a pastor began, here at Caldwell Pentecostal Holiness Church 4 years ago. God has remained faithful through so much in my life. I cannot help but to be excited for the future of the Caldwell P.H. Church. We are truly blessed to be a part of what God is doing here in Caldwell. The sky is the limit for the future here at Caldwell P.H. Church and we will let the Lord lead us every step of the way. All the Honor and Glory will always be given to God for what he has done, is doing, and will be doing.
I look forward to meeting you this coming Sunday. Please, if you have any questions, concerns or prayer requests. Please feel free to call or email me at any time.
