Our Pastor, Reverend Toni Kracke, began her ministry with us on August 1, 2007. A recent graduate of Eden Seminary in St. Louis, Missouri, Toni also has a BA from Northeastern Illinois University in Chicago, and a M.Ed. from DePaul University in Chicago.
She brings a wide range of experience with her, having served as an educator in a parochial school, as administrator/curator of a historical society museum, as a retail clerk, business owner, and a tumor registrar in a hospital. She is an outgoing person, loves to meet and get to know people.
Toni is married to Kermit and has two adult daughters. Tina is career Army currently stationed in Germany and Kim is a regional sales manager for a health care equipment manufacturer.
Hobbies that Toni enjoys are sewing, gardening, and walking for exercise and relaxation. To her, sewing is an art form. She finds it fun to touch textures, feel the differences, and bring together a range of colors to create a project of use and beauty.
