Leadership
ROBERT GRISHAM
Robert and his wife Mandy moved to Memphis from the San Francisco Bay Area in 2006 to lay the groundwork for what would become Neighborhood Church. Robert’s passion for church planting began in 1998, when he had the opportunity to help start a church in Nashville. Since that time he has devoted himself to seeing new churches get started. Robert also works at InCity Realty as a real estate agent, and he would love to help you buy your next house!
Robert primarily serves NC in the areas of vision, teaching, and leadership development.
Robert and Mandy were married in 1999 and have two children: Adam and Micah.

Meredith Pace
Meredith listens and collects stories. When clarity is needed, she draws connections and helps convey understanding. She thrives in cross-cultural settings and is passionate about empowering refugees and immigrants as they put down roots in Memphis.
Meredith works as a nurse anthropologist for Christ Community Health Services, a network of clinics caring for the poor and marginalized in the city, and assists a local organization with community health projects in Afghanistan.

GINGER SPICKLER
Ginger is the (wo)man with the plan. She loves new ideas, but is a little antsy until there’s a solid strategy for executing them. She also loves bringing people from different groups together — preferably for a gathering with a great spread. They don’t call her “Cruise Director Julie” for nothing. She heads up event planning for Neighborhood Church.
Ginger works part-time for an education-related non-profit called MOST. She works full-time as mom to Walt and Patrick. She’s been married to Josh for thirteen years, which is not work at all. They live in the Cooper-Young neighborhood, and are deeply invested in their community there, including the neighborhood school, Peabody Elementary, where Walt is in first grade.
BILL GANUS
Bill likes to solve problems, is world traveler, and professional R&D specialist. He doesn’t believe in the impossible and believes “Christianity isn’t religion; it is real life. It’s not just something we tell people about; it’s something we live.”
He is a passionate pitchman (think Steve Jobs, not infomercials) who enjoys persuading, ideas spreading, fundraising, and knowing things. He is a member of the Board of Directors at HopeWorks.
Bill and his wife, Jessica, are both recreational triathletes and adventure racers who love anything outdoors. After eight years of peaceful mornings, they are expecting their first child (to accompany their 4-year-old boxer, Sam) in January.

JOHN CARROLL
John is a strategist and idea guy. He has an entrepreneurial spirit and comes from a business background. He has pastored at two other churches before Neighborhood and is currently the Executive Director of a local nonprofit called City Leadership.
He is always thinking about how we can make things better, more impactful, and more efficient. John also oversees our communications.
John & Ashleigh have been married since 2003. The two of them have four children: JAC, Charis, Abigail, and Jones; and they live in the historic neighborhood of Annesdale-Snowden.
