Speakers: Bruce & Karen McCraken
Bruce was born and raised in Aldan, a small suburb of Philadelphia, PA. He is the oldest of three sons raised in a Christian home. He attended Aldan Union Church. Both of these influences greatly shaped his spiritual development. A Sunday School teacher led him to Christ when he was 8 years old.
Karen and Bruce were married September 7, 1974. They served as youth pastors of the Evangelical Covenant Church, in Des Moines, IA for 5 years.
Bruce and Karen moved to Deerfield, IL to complete a Master’s degree from Trinity Evangelical Divinity School. While finishing his master’s thesis and beginning the doctoral program at TEDS, the Lord called them to Lancaster Bible College in Lancaster, PA. Bruce founded House on the Rock Family Ministries in 1988 as an extension of his speaking and teaching ministry at LBC.
Bruce currently serves as a member of Pat Morley’s Man in the Mirror’s faculty. He has also served on the faculties of: Word of Life Bible Institute in Schroon Lake, NY and Messiah College in Grantham, PA.
Bruce and Karen are celebrating their 45th wedding anniversary and are the parents of two adult sons and are the proud grandparents of the cutest granddaughters and one grandson!
Worship Leaders: Jeff & Sue Duffield
Aside from the fact that they have new life doing contemporary hymns and even the “Oldies”, they have always been exceptional and creative artists. Since the early 70s, while Jeff and Sue had major media venues of opportunity and exposure (PTL Club, 700 Club, 100 Hundred Huntley Street – Canada) they never strived for commercial success. Sue not only has an incredible vocal ability, she also writes much of the material they perform.Jeff is a sought-after keyboardist, playing, producing, and arranging for artists/ministries such as: Jimmy Fortune (of the Statler Brothers), Doug Oldham, the Original Couriers, Ben “Cooter” Jones of the Dukes of Hazzard, Sammy Hall, Dave Boyer, Canton Junction, and John Hagee Ministries. The choice to perform a more jazz, soulful-influenced repertoire instead of mainstream gospel, a more conservative direction, proved to be their signature strength. The Duffields were performing this worship flavor a decade or more before it became popular.Their music is rich with many layers. They are truly musicians’ musicians, but most will say Jeff and Sue’s hearts are even bigger than their music. In their later years, it’s become quite evident that their real joy is helping other artists and ministries. Their love for Jesus shines in everything they do.
