Pastor Craig and Shar have lived in North Idaho for over twelve years. Before coming to Sandpoint in 2002, Craig was the Senior Pastor of the Bonners Ferry Church of the Nazarene.

Craig and Shar love the many outdoor opportunities that North Idaho offers. Craig particularly enjoys summer and the fishing, boating, water skiing, and camping that it allows. Craig and Shar have three wonderful kids. Their third child is a high energy little boy that came to them by way of China. Shar works part-time for Idaho Virtual Academy. When she has spare time she enjoys reading, hiking, biking, and skiing.

Craig graduated from Northwest Nazarene University in 1992 with a bachelor of arts, and from Nazarene Theological Seminary in 1997 with a Masters of Divinity. He is primarily responsible for discipleship and small groups, but he gets his hands into a little bit of everything.

A few of Craig's goals for the future include flying in a glider, learning how to sail, learning how to make pottery, (alright pottery that is recognizable), growing the best blackberries in North Idaho, being the best dad and husband that he can be, and helping others discover the joy of relationships with great church people and a great God.
