Our Team

Pastor Cory Crook is the Founder and Lead Pastor of ShadeTree Church. Called to pastoral ministry from the age of three, he has spent his life pursuing God’s purpose with a deep commitment to revival, discipleship, and the advancement of the Gospel. After graduating from Christ for the Nations Bible College, Pastor Cory served in a Dallas-based homeless ministry before moving to California to further explore the arts, producing music and film while remaining steadfast in ministry. He is currently pursuing his Master of Divinity at Tozer Seminary.

Pastor Cory’s ministry is marked by strong biblical teaching, Spirit-led leadership, and a prophetic call to holiness. With a passion for outreach and a vision to see lives transformed, he seeks to develop a high-art Christian culture that reflects the beauty of Christ. Through ShadeTree Church, his mission is to see people grow into who God has called them to be—revived in heart, renewed in spirit, and released to impact their world.
