Pastor Craig Rutherford

Pastor Craig has been serving as the Lead Pastor at Arriola Bible Church since June of 2020. He is the son of a Pastor and he grew up in a small Bible church where his dad served for over 20 years. While attending Liberty University, Craig began to work for his grandfather during the summers at the family funeral home business in Columbus, OH. He ended up transferring to the Cincinnati College of Mortuary science where he met his wife, Erika. After ten years in the funeral industry, Craig felt an undeniable call to ministry and they moved to Winona Lake, IN to go to Grace Theological Seminary. After Seminary they moved across the country to serve an associate role at a large church near Tucson, AZ. After nearly two years, Craig was encouraged to find a place where he could use his gift of preaching and God lead their family here to Arriola. Craig and Erika have four daughters and they enjoy spending time as a family and serving together.
