Meet our amazing staff and leaders

    Pastor Craig planted Lake Cities Community Church in 2007 after graduating with his master's of theology degree from Dallas Theological Seminary. Prior to this, Craig worked in the field of Human Resources in northern Arizona. His passions are preaching, mentoring, and the study of church leadership.

    In addition to pastoring, he teaches as an adjunct faculty member at DTS, having received his doctorate of ministry in advanced expository preaching in 2018. He has been married to his wonderful wife Tammy since 1990, and they have four children.

    In addition to serving at Lake Cities, he is the front man of the Christian recovery band, Son Ship. Sam enjoys playing board games, looking forward to new Star Wars movies, and petting his cat. He has an amazing wife named Brooke and a young son named Ezra.

  • Daniel - Pastor of Discipleship

    Daniel and his wife Hannah-Leah joined Lake Cities in 2018. He has quickly become a valuable part of our team, with a focus on building up the church through Bible study and discipleship opportunities. 


    He is currently finishing up his Masters of Theology at Dallas Seminary. After graduation, Daniel and Hannah-Leah hope to begin the adventure of long term missions work. His passion is to develop and walk along side younger believers and they grow in their knowledge and understanding of God. 

  • Judy Master- Administrative Assistant

    Judy has been a member of Lake Cities for years, but officially joined the staff in 2018. She is responsible for much of the essential behind the scenes work of the church.

  • The Elders

    Lake Cities currently has 5 Godly men who serve as elders- Ali Master, Micah Foster, Allen Johnson, Brett Hendley, and Craig Schill.


    These men volunteer their time and energy to pour into the heart of the church and ensure that we are fulfilling our mission to win, build, and send.

  • The Deacons

    Many of the day to day ministries of Lake Cities are run by our deacons- a group of women and men who oversee various teams such as Children's Ministry, Hospitality, and Outreach.
