Craig is from all over, but currently claims Dallas, TX as home. Developing his talents as a promising young drummer and easily transferring his great sense of rhythm to the guitar, Craig quickly set his heart on leading worship, while leaving behind anything that might hinder creativity in both music and in leading others to respond to all of who God is.

Craig is currently leading worship in the Dallas Fort Worth area, as well as indulging his passion for leading church camps, disciple-nows, and many other events around the country. Craig is also constantly working on writing more songs for his arsenal of tunes.

More important than worship and music, Craig is constantly pursuing Jesus amid the tension of this life and the next. Becoming a Christian at an early age has allowed Craig to grow into a knowledgeable spiritual leader, yet he still yearns to learn more about the gracious Love that saved him.

Some artists try to express themselves through music, but few artists’ music express the actual artist.  Craig’s music is a direct reflection of his personality. A genuine outlook on love and life are the inspiration for Craig’s songs and the fountainhead for his ever-blooming passion for worship. 

With an inventive perception of worship, and artistic expression of music, Craig will humbly take you to the throne room of a glorious and loving God.
 

 


“The first time I heard about Craig I was very impressed with his reputation. Most worship leaders I have seen or heard seemed to be focused on their personal career more than actually leading people to the throne room of God.  What I was told about Craig was confirmed in how he lead worship. He is a guy driven by passion and love for music that glorifies Jesus Christ above all else. He is a humble guy not bent on receiving accolades, praise, or popularity but simply wants the people he is leading in worship to experience Christ more through the lifting up of their voices to the King. His skills and enthusiasm are intertwined with his heart to worship. After inviting him several times to come and lead worship he has become a very close and dear friend to me and I never need to doubt his integrity or his character because he lives for Christ in every aspect of his life.”

Rick Emerson, Student Minister, Tulsa, OK

 

"Over the years that I've seen Craig come into his own as a worship leader, his ability to lead with sincerity has become his trademark within our group.  Anyone can lead music, but Craig reminds us of the pure joy in worshiping, the pure beauty in introspection, and the pure truth of the God we worship. It's always a joy to serve with him."

Eric Farmer, Youth Pastor, St. Louis, MO

 

“I love Craig and you will too!  Craig is a not just a musician—He is a worship leader.  I have been in Student ministry for over 15 years and I have been to and spoken at camps, retreats and conferences all over the country.  I have encountered a lot of great musicians… but very few worship leaders.  Craig is a worship leader!  Craig understands the power of leading people and he has the ability to create an atmosphere of excitement and passion that is contagious and worship takes place.”

Donnie Smith, Pastor, Memphis, TN

 

"Craig Rigney is one of the most humble and gifted worship leaders you'll find.  In a day of gaudy worship presentations and entertainment driven worship atmospheres, Craig offers something uniquely different: A humble approach to worship that drives others to look first at God and not all the stuff.  In the current worship climate, this is a rare thing."

Steve Hayes, Pastor, Corsicana, TX

 

"I work very closely with Craig and I can honestly say that I hope I will be able to work with him forever. Ever since I first met him and learned his vision of worship I knew that I had to stick with this guy no matter what. He doesn't care about fame. He doesn't care about all the fluff. He simply wants people to meet Jesus through theologically rich music. He understands the issues and dilemmas facing the worship world today. He get's it. And he is one of the few worship leaders I know who is just as concerned with the theological accuracy of the music as he is with the sound of it."

Robert Johnson, Discipleship Pastor, Allen, TX

 

“Craig has a delightful personality and unusual musical talent that he continues to develop.  Recently he led worship at our church and taught our congregation a new song.  I asked someone on our praise team to do the song again and their response was, “It takes quite a guitarist to play that particular song.”  Well, I have to say that Craig is quite a guitarist, vocalist and drummer.  I am confident that Craig will go far in life because he is not only talented, but is teachable and has a humble spirit.”

Dan Greer, Pastor, The Woodlands, TX
