SENIOR PASTOR

Pastor Tony is genuinely passionate about the Lord, and has spent years helping people of all ages and backgrounds better see God and follow Jesus. After having first started out as an outsider to it all, he still remembers what it's like to be spiritually lost before saying ‘YES!’ to Jesus. After trusting God through multiple next steps over the years, he brings all of that experience into the team and what God's doing at ECC Whitehall. Originally a Chicago native, he and his wife, Katie, have three kids and love doing life together. Pastor Tony is also a national conference speaker, author, and adjunct professor. You'll likely catch him with his family enjoying ice cream or a smoothie together around town!

PASTOR OF WORSHIP & COMMUNITY OUTREACH

A White Lake native, Pastor Craig went on to attend North Park University in Chicago. Having found a passion for youth and teaching, he continued to teach in the Chicago area public schools for fifteen years. In addition to his musical gifts, Pastor Craig nurtures a talent for creative vision and local outreach. His greatest hope for worship ministries is that it will help create space for both the curious and the committed to meet with God.
