Tony grew up in a small town in Illinois. He was introduced to the Christian faith through the example given by his stepfather. Tony grew up in the church and had the knowledge of faith from a young age. During the summer after his junior year in high school, he surrendered his life to Jesus and was baptized.

Tony and his wife, Amber, attended rival high schools and began dating as seniors. They were married in 1998. They have since added four children to their family: Caleb, Joshua, Ben, and Rebekah. Caleb and Joshua are both currently in college. Ben and Rebekah are middle school students. As a family, the Sprangers love to frequent Kings Island and get the most out of their season passes. They also love playing games as a family, attending sporting events, and watching movies. Tony’s favorite teams are the Chicago Bears, Chicago Cubs, and FC Cincinnati.

Tony graduated from North Central University in Minneapolis, MN, with a degree in Pastoral Studies with an emphasis in Student Ministry. He has served in Student Ministry for over 20 years in Illinois, Minneapolis, and Cincinnati. He was also on staff with Fellowship of Christian Athletes for three years. 

Tony is excited to join our growing community here at Center Pointe and looks forward to getting to know our kids, students and their families.
