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.

He came to us from Cooper City Church of God where he served as the worship pastor for 6 years. Ed leads worship from the guitar and piano but he also plays the drums and the trombone. He is driven by a desire to create environments where people can experience the manifest presence of God in order to be transformed in worship. In his free time Ed enjoys spending time with his wife, Hilarie and his 3 children.

His favorite book is "Bait of Satan" and his favorite Bible verse is John 15:16, which reads, "You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit - fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name."
Children's Pastor, Jeff & Deanna Woodroof.
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, Deanna, and the two were married in 1989. They have 3 children, Bryan (10), Rachel (5) and Emily (3). Jeff is an ordained minister with the Assemblies of God and recently comes to us from Coshocton, Ohio.
You can easily find Jeff involved with his family ice-skating, soap box derby racing, ballet, camping or even with a fishing line in a nearby lake. Jeff accepted Jesus at age 9 while attending a kid’s crusade in the senior pastor’s front yard. His passion is children’s ministries and believes that children are very important to God.
