Ahavat YESHUA Messianic Congregation
David Craig was the 3rd of 4 boys, born in a 5 year period to Jim & Margie Craig. Eventually, they had 6 children in ten years. His heritage is Irish, Scottish, and a wee bit of English and Welsh.
He accepted the Lord at a tender age, at a local Methodist Church. He “backslid” in his later teens and early twenties, but was re-acquainted with Him through his association with a Messianic Jewish supervisor. He began attending Beth Messiah Congregation because he didn’t know any other born-again believers. The Lord used him to bring Elaine Axilrod to Beth Messiah and to Himself. David and Elaine were married there.
David studied violin in elementary school, taught himself guitar and drums as a teen, and studied voice at Montgomery Community College in Rockville, MD. Shortly after he joined Beth Messiah, the worship team needed a bass player. So, he bought a bass and taught himself to play. David has worked with many worship leaders, most notably Paul Wilbur and Marc Chopinsky. Recently, he’s been holding the bass line at Ahavat Yeshua in D.C.
