After growing up in Fresno, CA, Craig received his Bachelor’s Degree from UC San Diego in Biochemistry and Cell Biology. During this time, he was also involved with Cru campus ministry and spent time overseas in their international internship program. Craig later received his call to ministry at Oakhurst Evangelical Free Church and has served fifteen years in pastoral ministry at Oakhurst EV Free and Woodward Park Baptist Church in Fresno. Due to a desire to grow in his knowledge of biblical languages, theology, and God’s Word, he received his Master of Divinity degree from the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary and his Ph.D. in New Testament at Midwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. When he’s not serving the church, Craig is probably enjoying a cup of coffee and a good book. Although, the best times of his day are when he spends time with his family. Craig and Amanda met in a young adults Bible study in Oakhurst and have been married since 2010. They have two boys, Isaac and Augustine, who love going on daddy-son dates for Frozen Yogurt or other sweet treats.
