Pastor Craig

PASTOR CRAIG RIGGALL

Pastor Craig Riggall was saved by God’s grace when he was a boy. He is thankful to have grown up in a Christian home that valued the local church. He has lived in Pennsylvania all his life, growing up outside Philadelphia. Before pastoring at GRBC he served as a lay elder at a church in Hazleton, Pennsylvania, while teaching high school literature and history for sixteen years at a Christian school. His undergraduate work was completed at Grove City College for a degree in English (BA, 2003). Sensing God’s call toward pastoral ministry, he began his studies with Reformed Theological Seminary and eventually received a Master of Arts degree in 2018. He has been married to Molly Marie since 2004 and they enjoy life with their four children, Emma, Micah, Saralyn, and Calvin. When granted with some free moments, you’ll often find Craig working on a house project, hanging out with his family, or reading a good book.

PASTOR KENT CREASON

Kent Creason received the gospel of God's grace in November of 1969 just before he graduated from San Diego State University with a BA in Marketing. Kent studied at Reformed Theological Seminary in Jackson, Mississippi, and then transferred to Westminster Seminary in Philadelphia. Kent married Deborah Conklin in December of 1971 and they moved to Carlisle, Pennsylvania. They have three sons, David, Joshua and Matthew. Each one is serving the Lord in their respective callings with Josh currently serving as a pastor in a church plant for the PCA in Charlotte, NC. He has nine grandchildren and attended Grace Baptist Church for almost 40 years under pastor Walt Chantry where Kent served as an assistant to Rev. Walt Chantry in Carlisle. Kent then worked in business and served as an elder there before helping to plant GRBC in Camp Hill.

PASTOR JAKE MARTIN

God, in his mercy, brought Jake out of darkness and into his marvelous light at the age of 26 as he began to understand that old, trustworthy saying, "that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners." Jake became a member of Grace Reformed Baptist Church in 2018, served on the deacon board from 2019 to 2023, and was elected to the board of elders in 2023. He works as a tractor trailer mechanic and has been married to Amy since March of 2020.

 
 

PASTOR BENJAMIN COLBY

God has been at work in Benjamin's life from the earliest years, saving him when he was around five years old. When he was six years old, his parents followed God's calling to foreign missions, which took the Colby family to Guyana, South America. At age 16, they transitioned back to Pennsylvania. Benjamin completed a degree in Business Administration from Clarks Summit University and currently works as an analyst in the utility industry. He married Megan in 2014, and they have been blessed with three little ones.
