Craig made his first career in corporate data processing management, running the big computers in manufacturing firms.
In 1996, looking for a new direction, Craig's pastor suggested he look into church administration. After taking courses in the field at the University of Saint Thomas, Craig started with Saint Matthew Lutheran Church in Columbia Heights and worked there for 3 years prior to coming to University Lutheran Church of Hope in early 2000.

This national honor is awarded to individuals displaying a strong commitment to their professional organization, the National Association of Church Business Administration (NACBA), through chapter leadership, special service, chapter organization, national service of membership, and professional support.
