Kraig became the Executive Director of PLACE Ministries in 2000 and joined Building
Healthy Churches as a consultant in 2006. He is a graduate of Southwest Baptist
University and brings over ten years of ministry experience and eight years of corporate
management to his ministry to congregations.  As a member of the Building Healthy
Churches ministry team, Kraig serves as a consultant and workshop leader in the area
of helping church leaders connnect their members into purpose-driven ministry.  

Kraig's positive attitude and approach to ministry are uplifting and helpful to church
leaders.  He understands the needs of congregations and knows first-hand how the
PLACE process promotes church vitality and health by

... recognizing, affirming, and empowering members for ministry
... emphasizing members' gifts and strengths
... involving members in ministry
... enabling the right people to serve in the right PLACE

One church staff member commented on the effectiveness of the PLACE process by
writing, "We have hosted 3 seminars in the past 7 months and 'placed' over 130 people
in the ministries of our church.  How exciting to see some people for the first time in
their lives to succeed and be fulfilled because of the discovery process of PLACE."  

Kraig, and his wife Missy, have been married for 21 years and have three sons, Koby,
Klay, and Kyler.
