Craig was born and raised in southwestern Pennsylvania, where he also attended Waynesburg University, until God gripped his heart with a call to full time ministry. He ended up in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania at the University of Valley Forge, where he received a degree in Pastoral Ministry.

 

After graduation, Craig spent 15 years as a staff pastor in two different churches before coming to Echo Hope to serve as the Lead Pastor in December of 2014.

 

Craig married his wife, Amber, in the summer of 2000. Amber is also a graduate of the University of Valley Forge with a degree in Elementary Education, and since then got her Masters in Curriculum and Technology. Currently she works as an Elementary Math Specialist for an online school.

 

Craig And Amber live in Mill Hall and have three energetic and enthusiastic boys: Evan, Nolan, and Landon.
