Tony Melton

Elder

I was born in Oklahoma, but due to my father's various jobs, we ended up in Missouri when I was still in elementary school. I consider Missouri my home.

As a child, I was always fascinated by Bible stories, such as Daniel and the Lion's Den, Noah, and David and Goliath. When I was a teenager, I urged my mom to go with me to a nearby Methodist church. I gave my life to Jesus when I visited a Catholic church. However, I played at being Christian, not really living like a Christian, until my young adult years when a co-worker explained the life-giving change Jesus makes. Then I really dedicated my life to Him.

I earned an associate's degree in electronic engineering from ITT Technical Institute. In 1995, I met and married my wife, Tami. We moved to Arnold and joined Faith Oakville in 2001.

Since joining Faith, we have met some wonderful people who have become our church family. I have served in Faith Kids and as a coordinator for Financial Peace. Tami and I currently serve on the Marriage Care Team as mentors.

Tami and I both enjoy camping and spending time with our daughters, Sarah and Bekah, and our Life Group.
