·         THEREFORE, I WILL FAST AND PRAY FOR REVIVAL IN MY LIFE AND THE LIFE OF OTHERS.

    David Craig, Pastor

    I began my journey as the Lead Pastor in June 2011.  Prior to coming to Shreveport I served in Texas, Pennsylvania, Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma.  I studied religion and music at Southern Nazarene University and received my M.A. degree from Nazarene Theological Seminary.

    I was raised in a Christian home where I was exposed to the Lord at an early age.  As a junior in high school I felt a call to serve Jesus for a lifetime in the ministry.

    I and my wife, Dawn, have two sons. Caleb is a graduate of Southern Nazarene University and Adam attends ULM in Monroe, La

    In my spare time I enjoy sports of all kinds, but especially the Texas Longhorns.
