Rev. Dr. Anthony J. McCullough

Originally from Dayton, Ohio, Tony earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Civil Engineering from Auburn University, and worked for thirteen years as a Professional Civil Engineer. It was while serving as a lay speaker in the United Methodist Church, preaching at Booth UMC in Autauga County on Sundays, that he felt called to leave his job as an engineer and enter full-time pastoral ministry. While attending seminary at Candler School of Theology at Emory University, he was appointed to serve as the minister of Dexter Avenue UMC in downtown Montgomery. He served at Dexter Avenue UMC for five years, and during that time, led them through a church re-start and it became River City Church, which was known for its focus on inner city missions. Tony served First Methodist Church in Brewton from 2015-2018, and has been the Senior Minister of Prattville First Methodist since 2018. In 2020, he completed his Doctor of Ministry degree in Church Leadership from Wesley Theological Seminary in Washington, D.C.. During his six years at Prattville Methodist Church, he successfully led the congregation through a $1.7M capital campaign focused on significant capital improvements. During the global pandemic, he provided spiritual leadership through the implementation of new ministry and mission practices. Most recently, he led the church through the complex disaffiliation process when the congregation voted to disaffiliate from the UMC. Throughout his ministry in the local church, Tony’s pastoral heart is rooted in the leading and power of the Holy Spirit as evidenced through an abundant response from people in each setting through baptisms and professions of faith. Tony is married to the former Carmen Stegall of Montgomery, and they have three children – Arden,  Adeline and, Holt. Tony is an ordained elder in the Global Methodist Church.
