Just before college, Craig encountered God as his Father, receiving forgiveness from Jesus and the power and friendship of the Holy Spirit. He enrolled at the University of Minnesota, and also tasted loving community and ministry at a local fellowship there. Captured by the vision of bringing the life and healing of Christ to all who are hungry, Craig remains committed to campus outreach as well as serving families, children, and adults in multi-generational ministry. He is passionate about God’s Word and the power of the Holy Spirit.

As we live in genuine relationships with one another Jesus heals and transforms us into his image. He and his wife Kathy both had some pain growing up, in Craig’s case as a result of his father leaving home,
in her case as a result of alcoholism in her family. Both of them have experienced profound restoration of heart and soul as a result of God’s work. They find joy in helping others find grace and peace in
Christ! Craig loves teaching the Word of God, encouraging people, healing the broken, and helping younger and older people find joy in life! When not digging in the Word or chasing his many children, he can be found hiking (preferably along Lake Superior), fishing with his kids, reading, or drinking coffee (dark roast!) with friends.
