The Reverend Craig Lemming is delighted to serve at St. John’s as the Associate Rector. Craig provides oversight of St. John’s Pastoral Care, Liturgical, and Faith Formation ministries, and shares in the responsibilities of preaching, teaching, as well as officiating and celebrating at our various liturgies. He serves on the Episcopal Church in Minnesota’s diocesan Racial Justice and Healing Formation Team.

Craig has served as the founding Director, Chaplain, and Vice Chair of the Board of Directors of Circle of the Beloved – an intentional community for justice-seeking leaders in their 20s committed to spiritual discernment and cultivating kinship across all lines of difference as decolonial, antiracist followers of the Way of Love. Craig holds a Master of Divinity degree with a concentration in Theology and the Arts from United Theological Seminary of the Twin Cities, a Master of Music degree with a concentration in Music of the Baroque era from Indiana University, and is pursuing a Doctor of Ministry degree at Trinity College, University of Toronto.

Craig was born and raised in Zimbabwe, attended St. George’s College in Harare and graduated from New England Conservatory of Music in Boston. Prior to serving at St. John’s, Craig completed his Chaplaincy training at Abbott Northwestern Hospital and served as the Transitional Deacon and Curate of St. John the Baptist Episcopal Church in Linden Hills, Minneapolis. Craig loves Christian centering prayer, reflects daily on life’s joys, struggles, and gratitudes, and practices audio divina with scripture and music as a spiritual discipline. He is fascinated by Decoloniality, Intersectionality, Art Films, Zimbabwe, and Orthodox Iconography; and looks forward to fulfilling his dream of visiting Florence, Italy and retiring on the island of Zanzibar someday.
