Meet the Christian Heritage Board of Directors

The Christian Heritage board is formed of seasoned veteran homeschoolers. Each is motivated by a sincere love of God and His Church and a humble desire to aid in His work by serving and ministering to the home educators of Washington State. Several of these families have spent time in the trenches fighting for the freedom to home educate. They have all spent years persevering in the homeschooling venture and have tasted its wonderful fruits. Each now has grown children who have embraced their parents’ Biblical beliefs and convictions as their own.

Neil Craig, President, Executive Director

In 1982, Neil and Mary Craig began homeschooling their five children who now range in age from 32-18. Neil and Mary are reaping the benefits of homeschooling as each of their children loves the Lord and is serving Him. Their first grandchild was born in March 2007. Neil served for ten years at Back to the Bible Broadcast as their arranger/accompanist and Director of Music, after which the Craig family worked with Russian orphans for seven years, living in Moscow, Russia and Indianapolis, Indiana. The Craigs currently reside in Spokane, Washington where Neil owns and operates a Fed Ex route. Music continues to be an important part of their lives and ministry – they love to sing and play their musical instruments together! (11/2007)
