Craig Springer

Craig Springer was an author, pastor, and researcher whose passion for people to know and love Jesus was compelling and contagious. He served as senior vice president at Barna Group, conducting their landmark Reviving Evangelism project and working alongside Gloo to advance the State of the Church initiative. Before that, he was the executive director of Alpha USA, a program that runs in over 6,500 churches across every major denomination and 500 prisons throughout the country.

Craig was a leader and pastor in influential churches in Chicago and Denver, one of which was named Outreach Magazine’s 2014 Fastest Growing Church in America. Craig and his wife, Sarah, also spent a number of years church planting in Prague, Czech Republic. He published two books, How to Follow Jesus and How to Revive Evangelism, which reflected his mission and hard-won insights about motivating people toward Christ.
