Tone Eberhart – Student Pastor

Hi, Church family. I’m Toné Eberhart. I am 30 years old and I am an Atlanta native. I am married to Rebekah. I have been living in Fayetteville since 2007, and I love every moment of it. I graduated from Fayette County High in 2010. I’ve always had a heart for the youth, so to be able to be a blessing to CCW through the youth ministry means the world. I volunteered here a lot under past Youth Pastors, so I am definitely not a stranger to CCW. That is why when I accepted the position as Youth Pastor here , it felt just like coming home.  It has been so awesome worshiping here with you all! So hey, if you see me, please stop me and say hi. However, I’m going to warn you, I am a talker!! Contact: teberhart@ccwhitewater.org
