John Craighead - Minister To Youth


I was raised here in Kansas City and graduated from Shawnee Mission North High School. Though I gave my life to Christ at the young age of five, I fell away during my teen years. It was not until I reached a crisis point in my life that I turned back to God and was given a burden to minister to youth so that they would not have to travel the path I had already been down.

For over twenty years, I have worked with youth as a track coach, tutor, Big Brother, scout leader, and in the church (as sponsor, parent, youth director, and youth pastor). My time in the army and as a youth/associate pastor has allowed me to serve in ministry in Colorado, Germany, California, Texas, Missouri, and Oklahoma, as well as here in the Kansas City area. My wife, Jo Ann is a paraprofessional at East Antioch Elementary School and is my co-laborer in Christ. We have been blessed with two children. Our daughter is in college and our son is still in the youth group.

I love to spend time with my wife and kids, hang out with teens and read. My favorite verse is 1 Peter 5:7.
