Growing up in a large extended family south of Dallas, TX, Jimmy McNeal's musical journey began singing and leading worship at the Waxahachie Miracle Revival Center, the church his grandfather pastored and the place he first met Jesus. After College, Jimmy joined the Austin Stone Church in Austin, TX where he served alongside and toured with Chris Tomlin. Today, Jimmy serves as a worship pastor at The Austin Stone and travels around the country passionately leading worship for conferences and ministries, such as TGC, ERLC, Family Life, and Student Life. His upbringing honored the traditionals that his forefathers sang, and his experience has given him a love for many genres of worship music, but gospel will always be his roots.
