Craig and Emily Tomko have been married since 2006 and joined LifeGate in 2010, as the church was taking shape through the coming together of several local congregations. They are passionate about seeing people grow in their faith and live courageously in response to God's leading.

Craig has a heart for seeing men become strong, faithful followers of Jesus and for encouraging them to lead with courage and dependence on the Holy Spirit. His professional background is in business, and he brings that experience to his service and leadership within the church.

Emily is an author whose writing grew out of her own journey of faith and desire to help others pursue a deeper relationship with God. She is the author often books, including 31 Thoughts on Prophecy and Leaving the Shallows: Igniting the Faith That Overcomes the World. Emily enjoys

vintage style and has a particular love for German culture, having spent a year living in Bremen and Nuremberg.

Together, Craig and Emily value a church that leads with both grace and truth, prioritizes prayer, and encourages people to follow the Holy Spirit with courage and conviction.
