Pastor Craig Anthony Brown is the founder, senior pastor, and chief servant at Victory Station Ministries. He was born in the Midwestern city of Indianapolis, Indiana. Pastor Craig gave his heart to Christ as a young 15-year-old during a summer camp meeting service. The power of God fell on him at that service, and his life transformation was unmistakable.

​
Pastor Craig obtained his bachelor’s degree from Ball State University in Muncie, Indiana. During his undergraduate time at BSU, Pastor Craig received the ‘call to preach’ the gospel of Jesus Christ. Like many reluctant leaders, the ministry calling scared him, and he rebelled from the church and any semblance of Christian life. Yet, the Lord would not let him escape his divine destiny, and after a three-year spiritual hiatus, young pastor Craig repented of his sins, recommitted his life to the Lord, and helped launch a campus ministry called Ambassadors for Christ. He went on numerous mission trips to evangelize, and shortly after college, he married and started his family. As a young husband and father, he became a youth pastor, later rising to associate pastor and helped launch New Wineskin Ministries International in 2001.
