Pastor Craig
Craig and his wife Patti have been married for 40 years. They have 3 children. Daughter Charlene (Graham) and sons Ryan (Samantha) and Benjamin (Kara). They are also enjoying being Grandpa and Grandma to 4 Grandkids!
Craig has been involved in Pastoral ministry and spiritual care-giving since 1993. He is a graduate of Emmanuel Bible College in Kitchener.
Some things Craig is passionate about are:
People/Families (in their many forms) ~ making meaningful connections both in and outside of the church building.
Leadership: Craig’s desire is to see people discover and develop in service – with their gifting, abilities and talents both in the local church as well as the local and global community. Craig is committed to encouraging and equipping others to make our homes the primary places where faith is nurtured. Believing there is blessing when we capture this spiritual truth and instruction.
His own family, health and faith ~ Craig leads by example of putting priority on his relationships with those closest to him. He desires to model spiritual health as well as physical and emotional well being. Craig and Patti enjoy walking and hiking local trails.
Kingdom building ~ Craig does not see his primary goal as building a local church, so much as obediently doing his part as God grows His Church, and most importantly, as people come to know Jesus.
The Church: Craig is passionate about the Church, as God has intended it to be. Desiring our place of worship to be a welcoming and vibrant place to grow in all aspects of our faith and that we would take the experiences and fullness of God beyond the walls – into everyday living. Craig has a deep desire for the church to be a place where people can strengthen, first, their relationship with their Father - Creator and also be a source of encouragement and resource for relationships such as marriage, parenting, and personal growth.
Life experience outside of Ministry includes having worked for General Motors, Gas Rig Worker and also as a volunteer fire-fighter.
Craig's desire is support and lead Pioneer Park in the mission to "See more people do life with Jesus"
“To use my Pastoral ministry experience and gifting to serve God, to make Jesus known and to help equip God’s people to serve Him”
