Lead Servants

Pastor Tony has served as a pastor for thirty years. He has also spoken at camps and conferences around the world.  He has recently  launched Uncaged Bible Ministry, an online ministry committed to teaching and training people to know and love God's Word. Pastor Tony loves sports. An example of his athletic prowess was winning the Elkhart County 6th Grade Bean Bag Toss Championship. He has the trophy to prove it! In addition to his love for bean bags, pastor loves his wife of 26 years, Becky, and his six kids: Kaylee (25), TJ (23), Austin (22), Hallie (20), Jake (16) and Cooper (12). None of them have inherited his bean bag skills.

Becky oversees ministry teams, volunteers, and Kidz Rock. She enjoys helping people connect with each other and finding a purpose in serving. One of her favorite phrases is, “There’s room for everyone at the table.” When she’s not serving at COTR, you will find Becky managing the chaos that is known as her family. In 1995 God told her to marry Tony (you should ask her to tell that story) and they have been happily married ever since. They have six children and one daughter-in-law and she’s happiest when they’re all together. In her spare time…just kidding, she doesn’t have any spare time. But if she did, she would enjoy all things Christmas, the beach, baking, and chocolate.

TJ has been working with teens for 7 years and is in charge of our student ministry.  Along with his wife Caroline, TJ loves to help teenagers pursue Christ and set themselves up for success in the future. TJ loves working with teens because he doesn't have any friends his own age and the teenagers are forced to hang out with him. He also claims that dodgeball can teach all of the life lessons you need. TJ enjoys reading, golf, exercising, and most of all; fantasy football..
