We welcome Isaiah Craig and Family to Rainsville First Family and Plans for Worship Tomorrow (January 7, 2024)

We "officially" welcome Isaiah Craig and his family to our church tomorrow as we gather for worship on the first Sunday of 2024.  Isaiah will be preaching in the 10:15 service.  Isaiah is our Associate and Mission Pastor.

He and his wife, ShaRhonda, were married in 2006 and have nine children:  Zoie (17), Zaria (15), Zimri (14), Zavin (12), ZaiLee (10), Zekaree (8), Zakobi (5), Zyrie (3), and Zylas (1).

He was licensed to Ministry by Loretto (TN) First Baptist Church on April 23, 2006, and ordained to Ministry by LaBelle Haven Baptist Church (Memphis) on January 25, 2009.

He has a Bachelors of Science degree in Secondary Education from Athens State University in 2007, and has studied at Luther Rice Seminary.

He comes to Rainsville from Worcester, MA where he served as the Church Planter/Lead Pastor at Pleasant Street Baptist Church.  This is where our church served with him in summer of 2023. He moved to Worcester in conjunction with the BCNE (Baptist Churches of New England) where he also served as a Multiplication Leader for Central and Western Massachusetts.

He has served prior as Pastor, Associate Pastor, and Youth Pastor in Tennessee and Georgia.  One of his main callings is as a Church Planter/Mission Catalyst since 2008 overseeing and equipping church planting movements in two nations.  He has planned and coordinated multiple trips to  India, Nepal, Peru, Uganda, El Salvador, and Honduras.

We are excited about God bringing the Criags to Rainsville to lead us in outreach and missions seeking to reach our community, county, and throughout the world.
