From the youngest to the oldest, the entire McNeill family is/has been a part of their Americana Music ministry and that is one of many things that makes them so unique.  Each person plays a distinct and important role in the ministry.  Whether they are loading in, setting up mic stands, ringing out the room, running sound, cleaning the bus, singing, playing instruments, or watching the younger ones, each person is actively involved in each and every tour.   That said, you will see everyone involved in the ministry on stage at some point in a concert.  This is a journey the McNeills never foresaw, but one that has been embraced by the whole family.  

It began when the Lord called Caylie, the oldest child.  She felt that He was calling the family to minister through song and testimony.  Chris and Michelle said, absolutely not.   Caylie prayed, the Lord moved and they have never looked back.

It's all in the family and TMP likes it that way.
