Tony and his wife Lisa have been attending CFC since 2001, and he has served as an elder since 2007. In 2006, as a Valentine’s Day present to Lisa, he and Lisa attended a conference on Biblical counseling and discipleship. It was there the Lord began to fuel his passion for Biblical counseling as he saw how the Bible offers hope and help to people who are struggling with the problems of life. From that conference a small group of CFC members began the biblical counseling ministry (the Hope Center) at CFC.

In 2008 Tony was certified as a biblical counselor by the Association of Certified Biblical Counselors (“ACBC”), and he was granted Fellow status by ACBC in 2025. In 2013, Tony retired from the practice of law and joined the pastoral staff at CFC where he serves as Pastor of Counseling and the Executive Pastor. Tony and Lisa are blessed to be able to attend CFC with their son, daughter-in-law, and 2 wonderful grandchildren.
