Craig was licensed to the Gospel Ministry in 1999, and ordained in 2006 at South Oaks Baptist Church in Arlington, Texas. His hobbies include football, travel, camping, and barbeque grilling. Craig began his ministry as an event communicator preaching revivals, camps, and weekend events. In 2006 he sensed the call of God to enter pastoral ministry. He has served as Senior Pastor of the First Baptist Church in Cisco, Texas, and the First Baptist Church in Dripping Springs, Texas. Craig has given his life to shepherding people and being the hands and feet of Jesus in a community. He believes strongly in collaborative leadership that includes as many people as possible and is committed to being a steady voice of unity. “My personal goals are to be a man of God, a loving husband and father, a caring minister, and a servant leader. I desire to be in the center of the Lord’s will. Wherever He leads I will go.”
