Our Mission

First15 is a daily devotional that seeks to provide believers of all backgrounds with a unique experience with God in the first 15 minutes of their day. First15 is designed to help readers have an encounter with God that leads them to a sincere search to love God and others.

Our Story

Craig started First15 in 2015, out of a desire to guide believers of all backgrounds into a daily experience with God’s presence. Craig sensed a longing in God’s heart for his people to be about relationship – real, restored relationship with him – that above all else, he simply wanted the hearts of his people.

So Craig started praying, dreaming, and writing. And the idea of helping people spend the first fifteen minutes of their day focusing on nothing else but growing in their relationship with God was born. That if we as a people would worship, read, and pray at the beginning of every day, everything could change for the better.

Statement of Faith

One of the earliest declarations of faith in Christian history is the “Apostle’s Creed.” Forms of it are used today by Catholics, Anglicans, Episcopalians, Presbyterians, Lutherans, Methodists, and many non-denominational churches. Its name comes from the early tradition that each of the twelve apostles dictated part of it after Pentecost. As a result, the statement is traditionally divided into twelve articles. Our ministry affirms each assertion which can be viewed by clicking the button below.
