Who We Are
Senior
Pastor Bruce & Charlene Craig
In
November of 1979 I had a miraculous encounter with Jesus Christ. That same week God called me into the ministry. The Lord led
me to Central Bible College (CBC) located in Springfield, Missouri
where I graduated with a B.A. in the Bible. Shortly thereafter I was
licensed to preach and later ordained with the General Council of
the Assemblies of God. My wife, Charlene, shares a common call to
ministry. We have four lovely children who have also received Jesus
Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. It's my desire in life to
introduce as many people as possible to the saving knowledge of our
Savior Jesus Christ. Besides pastoring, love the great outdoors;
whether I'm boating, fishing, hunting, or just taking a hike through
the woods.

Pastor Jeff began
working in children’s ministries while attending Southeastern
College of the Assemblies of God. It was there that he met his wife,
