Neil Johnson

Lead Life Group Pastor

Neil gave his life to Christ in 1993 at The Church at Rocky Peak and was baptized here in May of 1995. God eventually directed him toward a calling into full-time ministry. He first began that journey, in 2001, when he was hired by Rocky Peak as an intern. In August 2004, he joined the Rocky Peak staff full-time. He has been involved in many ministries at Rocky Peak over the years: men’s ministry, sports ministry, singles ministry, etc., while always being heavily involved in Life Groups as a Life Group Director. In June of 2013, he accepted the role of our Lead Life Group Pastor. He loves to see people get plugged into Life Groups and watch as they are transformed into passionate Christ Followers!

One of Neil’s personal passions is photography. He loves capturing moments in time, whether it is in Yosemite, in the city or across the world! Neil has been married to his AMAZING wife Lynn since August 2001. They enjoy being outdoors, look forward to spontaneous adventures, and love to travel.

Donnie Murray

Life Group & Care Pastor

Donnie joined the Rocky Peak team in 2025 serving with our Life Groups and Care Ministry. After finishing college, Donnie pursued a career in banking and climbed the corporate ladder-managing some of the largest banking institutions in California and Arizona, including in the beautiful beach town of Santa Cruz. But after six years, his heart felt empty and started craving something deeper than spreadsheets and quarterly reports. That’s when he answered the call to ministry.

His journey took him through roles as a youth pastor, assistant pastor, and eventually a lead pastor. During that time, he felt called to make a greater impact in his city-so he did what only a true visionary would do: he merged his church with another local church in Long Beach called Revive. There, he joined the pastoral team and basically became the ministry version of a Swiss Army knife-overseeing Life Groups, marriage ministry, pre-marital, youth, assimilation and more.

Donnie is also a certified personal trainer and cares deeply for health and wellness, both physically and spiritually. He loves working out and enjoying the great outdoors. And he’s a second-degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do! He loves spending time with his family and is looking forward to all that God has planned for him at Rocky Peak.

Christy Enyart

Life Group Director

Christy joined the Rocky Peak team as Life Group Director and Singles Coordinator in September of 2022. Christy is passionate about reaching people for Jesus in this beautiful part of Southern California. She and her husband Joel first came to Rocky Peak in 2007, served for many years, and then God called them to Canada (brrr!) in 2013 to serve at a church in the great white north. Rocky Peak has always had special place in their heart, and they were excited when God called them back home to Rocky Peak after many years away!

Christy and Joel met while working together at a church in San Diego, CA. They have been married since 2002, and have 2 teenage daughters, Indy and Brooklyn. Christy loves saying yes to whatever Jesus has for her. She loves Jesus and His Church, and she truly believes in building the lives of people through the ministry at Rocky Peak!
