After graduating, Craig will marry Lindsay Maple. After the wedding, they will both be going to Puerto Rico to serve as teachers at a Christian School. Craig will also preach on weekends. Chad, Creighton's youngest son, also attended Johnson Bible College. Chad graduated on May 3rd, 2007. Chad works for a Hospital in Virginia. He and and his wife Rachel have one child. Creighton enjoys preaching, teaching in homes, as well as just having fun with God's people. Creighton also enjoys bicycling in Alamance county and surrounding areas. His wife Debbie loves baking delicious deserts and using Creighton as a guinea pig for new dishes. Creighton is excited to be in Burlington for what he calls his adventure of faith. Creighton looks forward to sharing Christ, helping people grow in their faith, leading Christians who have fallen away from their spiritual walk by showing them a way back to the Lord, and helping others realize that God wants them in His kingdom. He and Debbie live in Graham where they enjoy their neighbors in the Valley Field subdivision. He is looking forward to ministering to folks in this area who are looking for ways to serve God and others who are, maybe, for the first time "giving God a chance".
