About

Kraig has been married to his best friend, Laura, for 32 years, and they have four adult children and two daughters-in-law. He was the editor at a Christian publishing house for almost seven years after he graduated from seminary. He pastored for 18 years in Colorado and Minnesota and then taught Biblical Counseling at Faith Baptist Bible College in Ankeny, IA for three years. Since August of 2023, he has been the senior pastor of First Baptist Church in Colville, WA. He has been certified since 2005 by the Association of Certified Biblical Counselors, and is presently a Fellow Candidate. Kraig is adjunct faculty at two seminaries: Central Baptist Theological Seminary since 2017 and Faith Baptist Theological Seminary since 2025. He got his M.Div. from Calvary Baptist Theological Seminary (Lansdale, PA) and his D.Min. in Pastoral Counseling from Westminster Theological Seminary (Glenside, PA).

Kraig enjoys wilderness backpacking out West; college football; outdoor cooking with a dutch oven; camping, visiting National Parks, and vacationing with his family; hanging out with his wife; eating at McDonald’s; and running marathons–I mean watching his son run marathons 😉

Kraig and Laura conduct marriage and family seminars as their schedule permits. Kraig counsels and teaches on abuse–especially verbal abuse.
