Craig Scott Hawkins

Craig was a member, and an elder at Northpoint Church in Corona. He taught a Sunday School Class, “Living the Truth” for the past 12 years. Craig was also involved with T.O.T. (Training of Trainers) of pastors and other Christian leaders in India and surrounding countries since its inception in 2013. Craig’s goal in all his ministry activities were three pronged: (1) Glorify God, (2) Equip Christians in what we believe and why, and to better know God’s Word and to live out our Faith, and (3) Equip and encourage Christians to share their faith with non-Christians (Eph. 4:11-16; Phile. 1:6).

Craig has spent a lifetime studying Christianity to better understand the Faith, live it, and to teach other Christians how to share it. He spent his life sharing the Faith and studying and teaching about the cults, the occult, false theology, and non-Christian religions and philosophies to protect the saints, teach them sound doctrine, and show them how to winsomely share the gospel with everyone (1Cor. 9:19-22).

Craig graduated from UC Irvine with a degree in Philosophy and graduate degrees from Trinity Graduate School and Claremont University. For the past 32 years he has taught at Trinity Law (and Graduate School) in Santa Ana, CA. He also taught at Biola University, Concordia University, Simon Greenleaf University, with the Talbot Institute of Biblical Studies (TIBS), the SALT Institute and several other organizations. He was a Senior Research Consultant for the late Dr. Walter Martin, served as the Associate Dean of the School of Apologetics at Trinity International University (California Campus), and served as the Director of Graduate Studies at Trinity Graduate School (California Campus). He has appeared on numerous radio and television programs, including co-hosting the “Bible Answer man” program with Walter Martin. Craig co-hosted the “Living by the Word” radio program on KKLA 99.5 FM for the past 23 years. For the past 2 years, Craig hosted “Today’s Bible Questions”, on HisChannel.com, a live Video on demand program.

Craig lived a full life and when he wasn’t traveling, teaching, or speaking, he would enjoy relaxing and being at home with his wife and kids.
