Tony Collins
Tony Collins has been a Christ follower since his late teen years and continues to pursue God’s leading through Jesus every day. He is a licensed minister with the Evangelical Covenant Church, and proudly serving under the non-profit "Urban Skye" based in Colorado.
Tony spent 15 years in Contra Costa County as a youth, family, and connections pastor.

Take one step closer to the Lord today
Build authentic Kingdom-focused relationships
Give of themselves and engage in commitment, community, and service.
His style is service-focused through highly relational, intentional, and welcoming, people where they are and walking with them in life and on their spiritual journey.

They have three adult children: Keegan, Cooper, and Mia.
