Grace Presbytery, together with The Nor’kirk Presbyterian Church, will offer a Service of Installation on Sunday, March 12th at 5:00 p.m. to install Rev. Elise Neal as pastor.

Elise graduated from Marshall University in 2001 with an elementary education degree and specialization in early childhood. She taught for two years in North Carolina before pursuing her call to ministry.

Elise attended Union Theological Seminary and Presbyterian School of Christian Education, graduating in 2007. She has served churches in Sioux City, Iowa; Fairmont, West Virginia; and San Antonio and Lockhart, Texas. In October 2022, Elise was called to serve as pastor of The Nor’kirk and began her service in January of this year.

“I strive on a daily basis to be a faithful follower of Jesus Christ. God has called me to use my gifts in ministry to further God’s kingdom, and I am humbly honored to be called to serve as the pastor of the Nor’kirk.”

We rejoice that God has led Rev. Neal to serve in Grace Presbytery, and we pray for her ministry in Carrollton and beyond.

The Nor’kirk Presbyterian Church is located 3915 N Josey Lane in Carrollton, Texas.

Rev. Neal is pictured above with her husband, Ryan, and their children, Kaylen, Knox and Terryn.
