Craig has been involved in full time pastoral ministry since 1977 and through his shepherd’s heart founded Rhythm of Grace. He has always carried a strong desire for the church to be equipped for service to the world and to be cared for in its journey toward Christlikeness.

In 2000 he responded to the faith stretching encouragement to step outside of the structures of the local church to follow what he sensed were next steps toward, “the land I will show you” (Gen.12:1). The unfolding of Rhythm of Grace has come as a result of his moving away from the present cultural pastoral responsibilities to learn to find space and time for listening for the voice of God in a more classic Christian tradition (Jer. 6:16).

These classic Christian traditions are rooted in the biblical models of the Jewish and early Christian disciplines, the historical church traditions of the desert fathers and mothers, as well as the incarnational approach lived out from the ancient Celtic patterns.

In 2001 Craig began to work with The Leadership Institute as a means to further expose Pastors to the ancient paths of the classic spiritual disciplines. Both ministries, Rhythm of Grace and The Leadership Institute, focus on the process of integrating one’s spiritual formation with their particular sphere’s of influence, be that in a parish, home or marketplace environment.

Rev. Craig Babb (EPC) is a certified Spiritual Director and an Ed.D. Candidate of the Graduate Theological Foundation.

Craig and Debbie Babb have been married since 1977 and have two grown children, Amanda and Cory.
