Tony Hooper

For over a year now Tony and Alicia Hooper have been in fellowship with CCC and Pastors Kenny and Debra Gardner, but the relationship with the Gardners has been a life-long one. Pastor Kenny and Tony ministered together at Benny Hinn's church in Florida back in the late 80's. The Pastors and the Hoopers share a lot in common, one being Excellence in Ministry.

Tony has been in music ministry for over 20 years and has travelled the world using music as a tool for evangelism. Tony also manages a publishing company "Cross Peace Music" and writes as well as produces recording projects for scores of artists. Tony has a number of his own CD releases which include: "Month of Sundays," "Shepherds Field," "Worship Rising," "Purity (a cd recorded with wife, Alicia)," and "East to West." Tony has also recorded numerous disc with other Christian Artist such as Rick Cua, The Blues Counsel, and more... 

 

As for philosophy of ministry, it's pretty simple for the Hoopers: Embrace, Equip, and Empower! Embrace the generations for Christ, Equip them with the knowledge and tools necessary to succeed in their giftings, and Empower them to reach their destiny by making room for them both on the platform at church as well as in the world. Tony is involve in ministry world-wide. Currently, Tony is part of the "Extraordinary Women Conferences" with Michael O'Brien, Rick Cua and the Blues Counsel which does Christian Musician Summits around the US, and Tony does many music conferences around the country for others as well. Vision for the CCC worship team is simple: Set the standard high for the praise team, model a consistent and passionate heart of worship with excellence both on the platform and off, lead by example and make room for others to grow, and above all worship in spirit and in truth. After all the planning, preparations, rehearsing, it's then time to bring our very best to Christ and ask Him to receive our sacrifice of praise and receive our worship and use any and every gift we bring to reach out to the broken and hurting. Music is powerful... but, anointed worship is more than just music!!!
