Pastor Craig Diedrich was born and raised in the pews of Athens Assembly of God. He has lived in the community of Athens his entire life. He has always attended this church but did not submit to God calling him into official ministry until 2017. Athens Assembly of God had a need for a lead pastor for several years, and after wrestling with God for a considerable amount of time, Pastor Craig finally submitted to God’s call for him to enter ministry. In 2017, he filled the long-time void that Athens Assembly had and has been here ever since.
Pastor Craig is married to Danielle, and together they have four children. They have also recently welcomed their first grandchild. Pastor Craig has a passion for lost souls and for spreading the Gospel to any and all that desire to draw closer to Christ.
