ABOUT ME

Craig is a Jesus centered husband, father, and pastor who is passionate about leadership, church growth, and healthy church multiplication. Craig writes primarily to inform and influence thinking and occasionally just to rub people the wrong way. Craig loves doing life with his wife Cindy, who makes the best grilled cheese sandwiches in the world and his amazing son, William, who enjoys playing with his trains, watching his nook, and running around the house all day long. For fun, Craig enjoys fishing, reading, doing a little critical & strategic thinking, and enjoying the city with the family.

EDUCATION

LEADERSHIP VALUES

AUDACIOUS FAITH

In order to transform a region with the gospel of Jesus, we can’t think small. We will set impossible goals, take bold steps of faith and watch God move. 

EXTREME GENEROSITY

The people of God should go above and beyond to give sacrificially to the work of God in our region and around the world. 

MISSIONAL CHANGE

God speaks change into all areas of life and therefore His people and His church should embrace change both individually and organizationally. 

VISIONARY LEADERSHIP

The church is designed to be lead by strong leadership with a clear vision from God.  And the church is to aggressively defend its unity and that vision.
