First Lady Bridgette Carstarphen O'Neal  
Administrative Pastor

Bridgette O’Neal serves as Administrative Pastor of Living Word Church Ministries. She is a woman who loves God and her family. Born in Tuscaloosa, Alabama to Sheila McGee Carstarphen and Hezekiah Carstarphen, she is the oldest of three daughters. Bridgette thanks her parents for instilling Christian values in her at an early age. But it was not until she went to college that she made a decision to accept Jesus Christ into her life and begin a personal relationship with Him. While attending Auburn University, Bridgette was an active member of a ministry called Ministries In Action. 

Bridgette graduated from Auburn with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration with a concentration in Management Information Systems. After college she accepted a position in her field and moved to Birmingham, AL where she would meet her “dream man” and future husband, William O’Neal. 

She later became a stay home mother, raising their two children William II and Kenadee. She currently works part-time at a local community service organization. However, her top priorities are helping and supporting her husband in ministry and raising godly children.
