The Rev. Dr. Craig Sanders

Rector

"I wanted to eat, sleep, and breathe the Bible. The Anglican tradition provided a trustworthy model for patterning my life around Scripture, forming in me Bible-shaped worship and prayer."

Fr. Craig moved from Loganville, Georgia, where he served at Holy Cross Anglican Cathedral. He was previously ordained in the Diocese of the Rocky Mountains and holds a PhD in Christian Theology from Saint Louis University.

His journey to Anglicanism was shaped by a deep love for Scripture. As he writes: "I wanted to eat, sleep, and breathe the Bible. The Anglican tradition provided a trustworthy model for patterning my life around Scripture, forming in me Bible-shaped worship and prayer."

Fr. Craig's grandmother, his "MawMaw" Hazel Sanders Ridgeway, was instrumental in his faith formation. Her gift of an Apologetics Study Bible during his senior year of high school set him on a lifelong journey to inhabit Scripture.
