Craig is married to his wife Bettina. They share two adult children with one living in San Diego and the other here in Seattle. His ministry started at First Free in July of 2022 after having served in United Methodist Churches in California for over thirty years. He came to faith as a 13 year-old when five schoolmates in public school shared the gospel message with him. Pastor Craig enjoys travel, visiting over 10 nations as part of pilgrimages or personal travel. He plays golf as often as he can! His passion for ministry focuses on his call to “restore the beauty of the church” by serving churches who are seeking a new season of growth and vitality. He is a graduate of Biola University, Fuller Theological Seminary, and holds a doctorate from Boston University School of Theology.
